A 1" cold chisel and a mini sledge will put a lot more force in a strike than an air hammer will.

You could try ATF and acetone. It's supposed to work as good or better than Kroil

The two things you don't know what they are is actually a seal that seals the outer hub on the back side. (part 23 in below image)



The circlip looks in bad shape but you could reuse it in a pinch. Use a vise to get it straight and reinstall it.

To reassemble the hub refer to this from kickfix.com

swap out of front hub bearings

Great video on the locking hubs. Might as well service them, as well
