In this video I bring you along as I replace the rear wheel bearing on a 2012 Ford Fusion FWD 2.5 I also noticed when the lady was in the it had a cracked wheel! Time to throw some parts at this little guy. -Enjoy!

Once you called that tool a "screamer" I thought of Sam Kinnison every time you used it after that. OH OHHHHHHHHHH!!! OH OH OH OHHHHHHHHH! Can't get it out of my head now lol
"Don't do crack!" Eric with the PSA and segue to the ending rolled into one! Love the channel!!
EO you weren't beating on the sharp end of a chisel were you?
Roto looks like crap.
These cars have the easiest rear wheel bearings to change. But then you go to the fronts and think HMM…YEP, Ford must've let mazda design these babies.
Easiest bearing job ever.
Thanks for all tips and for being a conscientious master mechanic.
On a serious note, are brake pads still using asbestos? I can't seem to find a real consistent answer online about it. I am a dealer tech only seeing aftermarket pads occasionally, so I imagine I don't have to deal with it a heck of a lot, but still wondering.
that rotor didn't look too good…
Why don’t you thump the rattle gun on the wheel a bit more, it really annoys to have the paint chipped off around the lug holes.
