Once you take off the retaining but you should be able to thread it out. They don’t pull straight out

This looks like a new faucet, though a Chinese knockoff of a Mansfield frost proof. Take off the handle. turn off water to home. Open the faucet.
The first smaller nut is the "pacing nut" to stop leaks around the stem. I use a hose cap to protect the threads and use 2 wrenches. One to hold spigot, second to remove the thin retaining nut. Then the long stem will just unscrew and come out.
