Removing rotors on a dually.

I've got a 2003 F350 dually. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I need to pull my rotors (replace them) and I've got the wheels off, pulled off the calipers and brackets, pulled the (I think it's 8) bolts and pulled out the axles. Now here's my question. After pulling out the axle, what exactly am I looking at? It doesn't look like the hub-nut I was expecting (of course I've never seen one). I understand I can rent or buy a ford hub-nut tool but I just wanted to know for sure what I was looking at before I go any further and ruin anything.

Thanks for the help!!

These trucks use a unit berring... no hub nut. Just some c-clips that hold the stub axle in place behind the lock out hub, and I think the rotor is bolted on to the unit berring hub... I watched a buddy of mine replace the front unit berring a few weeks ago... snap ring pliers are the only specialty tool that he needed, aside from sockets/wrenches if I recall correctly.

I'm actually doing the rear on a dually. I figured it out; it was a hub nut I was looking at. I got the tool @ O'Reilly's for $20.

Depending on your mileage, you might want to go ahead and replace the wheel bearings as long as you have it apart. 100k-150k miles, they tend to go out.

Mine started rumbling at about 95k, and I'm getting ready to tear the axle down and replace them.
