Recently my wife's car has been making loud brake noises. I took the brakes apart and found that the driver's, the side making the noise, still has 65% brake pad left. I cleaned them up and put em back together. They still make the noise after test driving.

I then thought maybe the front wheel bearing was bad. I took off the nut, but can't remove the hub.

Any suggestions on the noise source, hub removal, or what the problem might be?

Thanks
