Warn hub dilemma???

[VonDog]

Taking apart my hub today and can't seem to get the main gear out. Here's whats going on: pulled the snap ring and the lg retainer, pulled out the inner gears and put the Allen head screws back in a little for leverage to pull out the main gear but can only wiggle it in and out slightly. Found some small broken pieces of metal inside. Am I missing a step? Can't see anything that might prevent me from pulling it out. I shot a short video but can't upload it. Any ideas???
