We had a thread about this (it was about getting a brake drum off but still germane) just a few days ago, but it's been busy enough on the board that I think it's fallen off to the archives and I haven't been able to find it handily. 8^(
Basically, you need to unbolt the whole of the final drive from the right diff shaft housing, which is the shaft housing your seat platform is bolted to. You don't want the right side to be close to a wall when you do this, as when you pull the final drive away away, the shaft itself will be pulled out of the transmission/diff to come with it. You'll be wiggling the drum, which will be at the outer end of the shaft, out of the brake band as you do this. The band is anchored at one end by the link to the pedals and at the other to the chassis by a dowel-type pin between the shaft housing and the final drive. No telling which of those pieces it will try to stick to. If it does try to stick with the final drive and drum, things will be easier to handle and maneuver if you find a way to get it off of that anchor pin, to keep it with the tractor/shaft housing end. That may take some wiggling as you go. (Unless, of course, you're replacing it because the rod broke off the band!)
If all you're doing is replacing the band, clean up your drum, work the new band over the drum and reassemble.
That's the basics. The biggest tip I can give you is that the final drive is not too "exceptionally" heavy to pull away by hand with two people, but is heavy and of an odd enough shape to be difficult to handle that way. Even if you could manage the weight and had a third person to to the wiggling and fine maneuvering to get the band off while removing and to help with lining up the shaft itself to get it back into the tranny, the whole job will be much easier if you can rig it with straps to a hoist. I'd plan on that appraoch.
