I had the same problem when I originally disassembled my 95 auto hubs. I also had the same diagram available to me which does not show the same assembly. There is an internal snap ring in a groove. Spray some carb cleaner in the hub around this cap and use a flashlight to shine in there and you will see it. Use a pick and this ring will pop right out. Hope this helps anyone else out that comes across this same problem in the future. You will also need a special hub socket(I believe it is a 2.5" socket) to remove the bearings and rotor.
