Newbie in over his head

[aric68]

In my 72 k20 I'm attempting to replace u/ball joints, and repack the bearings, trying to save a buck. Literally had to watch a video to see what and where these were. I got the spicer hub assembly off which wanted to come off as 1. Was able to remove the inner bearing lock nut with my fingers, but can't get the thrust washer off. Any advice and pictures would be appreciated.
