You want to thread the lock nut in towards the brake disc, then same with the other to expose the clip, remove that and it all slids off...

you guys are lucky... I must of hit someting hard cuz the end of the nut was pressed to the axle and I couldn't get the little ring off, I had to cut the nut apart with a grinder...fun

Sometimes you have to file the area where the clip goes to slide off the nut, it will get a ridge there for some reason.
