See the picture for the wrenches I use for my 350X axle nuts. I put my trike on the stand, so the back wheels are off of the ground. I put the wrench on the lock nut, and then grab the wheel and turn it as fast as I can so the wrench bangs on the concrete floor. A couple of shots of this and they come off.
Looking at the picture of the rear end, the threaded sleeve is splined on the inside, and goes over splines on the axle. The big nut pushes against the collar that pushes against the snap ring. The snap ring is the part shown closest to the wheel hub, then comes the collor, then comes the big nut. The lock nut is the skinny one that is four out from the hub. The big nut and the lock nut are left hand thread.
First you loosten the lock nut. turn it until it is very close to the brake rotor and the rotor hub. Then turn the big nut until the collar is exposed. Use a big flat ended punch to tap the collar off of the snap ring. Then pry the snap ring out of its groove in the axle, pry it towards the end of the axle. Slide the snap ring all the way off of the end, then the collar, big nut, lock nut, and splined and threadded sleeve will slide off.
Hope this helps
