I have removed the inner hub but this does not appear to use the spanner wrench type removal. I'm at a standstill as to how to remove this. See attached pictures. Thanks, Brad Bradfurt13 attached the following image(s):

This does not have slots for a spanner wrench..I've turned it and that does not seem to loosen it. Bradfurt13 attached the following image(s):

Spanner wrench available elsewhere, #35-2968 You may need to block transmission from turning. Pro TJ22002898 Seal Nut Tool - AppliancePartsPros.com
