Ok so I took apart the trans to do a rebuild ....well i cant for the life of me figure out how to take the forward drum off ...or the other side of the shaft with the shell and rear planet. i have a haynes, and the atsg trans tech online manual

if you click on certain areas it will show up close how it s put together.... but..on the page click the shell and you'll see part # 882 ...which i removed...but #604 WILL NOT COME OFF .....the lip on it will not allow it...so ?

I'm not a tranny expert, but could the lip you're referring to be burrs than should be removed? The snap ring would imply part #604 needs to be retained, and will not be without it.
