Finnally I'm going to get my brakes working. Can anyone tell me how to remove the wheel hub. I'm sure I need to remove the bearing buddy first. Don't know where to start can anyone give me some advice?

Bearing Buddies can be removed by jacking up the wheel then hitting them on the top with a rubber mallet or block of wood, turning the wheel and repeating until the BB gets loose enough to pull off by hand. After the BB is removed you will have access to the cotter pin and castle nut. Remove these and the hub should pull right off.

On mine there is no need to remove the bearing buddy. Take the rubber dust cap off and there should be a snap ring that holds the bearing buddy grease zerk cap in the housing. Remove the snap ring and gently pull out the zerk cap. On the other side, you should see another snap ring and then the cotter pin and hub nut.
You'll need the special plyers that take the snap rings out.....well, at least it makes it easier:)

I think you can pick up a complete assembly for about $100 each (brake, drum, bearings and actuator) from a local supplier or possibly Overtons.
