71 Brake rotor removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I seem to have misplaced the knowledge I had for removing the front rotors on my son's 71 K10. I have removed the hub, inner and outer snap rings, and lock nut. What am I missing? Are there any special tools I need besides the four tanged socket for the locknut? Thanks in advance for any replies.

The washer between the two nuts and the final nut, it should pull off unless the bearings are slightly stuck.

I thought that washer should come out of there. It didn't want to pop loose with a hook scribe. I'll try again tommorrow. Thanks.
