hello I am shadfly and I am fairly new to the site , I am trying to replace my wheel bearing and i can't get the locking hub nut off , i suspect the retaining clip is broken off , anyone have some ideas, also where can i buy parts to rebuild it ( kit)

So the hub is off and you're trying to do the next step? Are they 3 or 5 bolt hubs?

They are 3 bolt hubs , I have the first retaining spring out , but I am stuck there

This isn't making perfect sense to me compared to the 95's I've pulled apart, but what you may be stuck on (because it's where everybody gets stuck) is how to get the center guts out of the hub to get at the wheel bearing nut ?
There are 2 retainers, an inner and an outer - most people miss one.
If you alredy have the guts out and you can see the nuts to hold the wheel bearings in, you should be able to just undo the nuts.
Maybe a picture would be an idea so we can see what you're trying to do.

The hub nut had a locking pin/ clip that broke off , in the threads , I managed to get a little turn on the nut and after a lot of time and patience I fished the piece out , I removed the nut and checked the bearings repacked them made a new locking pin and put everything back together , not sure how to upload a pic of the clip I made , but thanks for taking the time to help me
