I can not for the life of my get it to separate from the lower ball joint. Been using a pry bar, brute strength, and oil to no avail. I have everything else disconnected (I know not the order of the video). I'm thinking maybe I don't have it jacked up high enough. Someone please help.
I was dreading doing this but to damn stubborn to pay someone to do it, ended up renting a master wheel hub being tool from Oreileys currently about to put it back together. Thank you for your video it's been my guidance.
DO NOT press bearing into knuckle by inner race or the bearing will fail in a couple thousand miles of driving. Press the bearing in by the OUTER RACE. The reason you dont want to press the bearing in by the inner race is when you put a socket on the inner race and push downward with 500lbs of force the inner bearing race pushes the bearings with 500lbs of force, and the bearings then push down the outer bearing race with 500lbs of force. The bearings get tiny little dents where they push against the edge of the races with 500lbs of force. The correct way is to push the outer race directly so your socket is pushing the outer race directly into the bore with ZERO pounds of force pushing against the bearings.
Ever since i replace hub and bearings, while turning or going over small bumps i hear clanking. Did i do something wrong???
my gosh a lot of work…what would that cost , i need new wheel bearing on left front.
You coulda just done it on car and saved an hour bud
This the all wheel drive or front wheel drive?
There are some cool bearing removal and installer tools on ebay or amazon to do this job with out removing the knuckle from the vehicule.
What is the size of the axle nut
I cannot pry the lower ball joint loose. It’s lose and it moves, but the control arm just won’t pry lower. Looks like the sway bay links are preventing it. But your removal had the sway bar still connected. Please help
Hi tyrone here. Can you please tell me the front driver side wheel hub bearing kit info to purchase. I will need it for doing the 2007 Ford Edge SEL AWD SUV Front Left side as well. I have the info for ordering Front Right side…thank you.
Is this for a 2009 Lincoln MKS as well?
How much would it cost to repair the wheel bearing and hub at a shop?
I have a question. What was the reason behind changing the BEARING? I am asking because I have a 2011 that is piping passenger side but I think it's a BRAKE issue the driver thinks it's the BEARING. I see no PLAY at all
Nice video thanks
Pressing the bearing in by the inner race with a socket is not good practice. I believe it should be on the outer ring not inner race. This bearing may have been damaged and could prematurely fail.
Do you have a video for the rear wheel bearing replacement on the same 2008 ford edge?
