89 Front bearings
I am trying to replace the front wheel bearings. I have Automatic locking hubs. everything i find is telling me to remove the spindle nuts.. I am not seeing those at all.. I got part of the hub out but that's it..

You haven't removed the inner part of the locking hub in that picture. There is a snap ring that needs to be released to pull the inner hub out. See here. The spindle nut is behind the center piece of the locking hub you see there. You will need a hub socket to remove the inner and outer spindle nut.

yeah... see that little gap on the bottom left (or top left if you open it in a new window) on the inner hub in the picture. there should be two little tabs sticking out facing you. get a pair of pliers and pinch them together then you can slide the rest of the hub out.
also since you are taking those autohubs off, have you considered getting a set of manual hubs? i hate those autohubs, have seen them fail so many times. also encase you havent done so there is a specific socket you need to get those nuts off... sometimes if youre really lucky and they arent that tight you can spin them off with a screwdriver
