If you've taken out the snap ring, have you also taken out the 2 nuts that hold the bearing in place? There should be a nut then a locking, tabbed spacer washer, then another nut that snuggs up to the bearing. You will need a specialty socket for them. It is available at most auto parts stores for under $20. Then the hub, bearing and all will slide right off.
