Lincoln MKZ Rear Bearing Fustration
Fustration with rear Bearings replacment on 2012-2016 Lincolin 2.0L Hybrid MKZ same as Ford Fusion Hybrid both with front wheel drive only. Parts listed incoreectly at all Parts suppliers. Removing bad bearing and changing damaged sensor. Bearings are almost always Oxidation Fused due to dissimilar metals and high water/salt contact. The speed sensor is cheap and should be replaced with new bearing. The sensor hole will have to be prepared by drilling out all the oxidation and making the sensor hole just a little larger. Total job should take only 30min per wheel and is 100% DIY. Ford and Lincoln will charge 2 service hours per axle at between $150 and $225 per hour. The parts per axle should (in 2024) be approximately: $95 for Bearing and $45 for sensor -or- $140 total.
I took the opportunity to change the rear brake rotors and pads with my $600 to $1,000 savings by doing it myself. Rear Rust-Proof rotors and ceramic pads are outstaning.
NOTICE: This auto must be put in "brake service mode" before doing any of this work. A scantool is not required. This auto has electronic assist brake calipers and in order to compress the pistons the electric screw must retract.
PRO-TIP: Reassemble all bolts and bearings with silicone RTV of any color. This will remove the spaces that would normally fill with water and oxidize. As an added bonus RTV will also act as a lubricant when assembaling and secure all bolts once it has cured. RTV has more give then LocTite and when it comes to re-disassembling RTV will not require any special tools.

@GallowayChicago I completed the tear down of an 11mm pump, everything seemed to have went well. When I finished I removed the locking key and turned it almost 180 degrees (no ideal where my head was at) I quickly turned it back and checked the timing mark on the pump with the key on the shaft and it was very close again? pretty much right on. Do you think I caused any problems? thank you
Thank you. I did mine within a matter of seconds while listening to your instructions 🎉
Thanks
How does this jar do with wheat berries making flour ?
I have made rice flour and oak flour. The moisture content in each will determines how sticky the flour is at the end. Putting the rice or oaks in the freezer first make better flour.
Thank you!!! It worked.
You're welcome!
do you know what chest this is?
I feel like this is a throwing the baby out with the bathwater solution but thanks for sharing. I have been making spiky creations that I then attach to the sides of the downspouts with cable ties. I did one with aluminum flashing that wraps around the 45deg upper portion to the point where they can't wrap their arms around it anymore and I also attached PVC strips that have drywall screws sticking out of and the whole thing was attached to the downspout with cable ties. I am going to try creating strips of 30 mills stainless steel with a series of triangular spikes cut and bent outwards maybe 1" wide by 5" long and these will be attached to the downspouts with cable ties and maybe double side pressure treated adhesive foam tapes.
Anything to keep them off the roof, but my end solution was to just replace the roof with Decra(tm) metal shingle roofing. Wonderful investment in a 80 year rated roof. No more concerns of varmets getting into the roof, high winds, ice, or leaks. I also replaced the gutters with 3" plastic ones and the siding is aluminum. The bandits can go up but they have no place to hide. Love from Chicago.
@@GallowayChicago I wish a metal roof was in my budget. The fascia boards are also of concern in this nearly 100 yr old house because if they find a spot that is rotted enough to get their nose in it, the squirrels will open the hole and then the racoons come in and enlarge it. Trying to keep both off the roof but racoons can climb stuff squirrels can't as you know.
@@GallowayChicago I made a long reply and it got nuked I guess wtf. Have you tried half circle PVC or ABS pipe, maybe 6" nom dia, attached to the house around the downspout to hopefully make it harder to climb?
Omg thank you I lost the key to mine also it's the same one too
All I did was give you the tools mate. You are the amazing one. Not only did you take the time to learn something you DID IT. Go on you. :)
@@GallowayChicago thanks it was first try
Im going to college this year and my family has an old trunk i wanted to use. The problem was it was locked I tried to open it myself gave up the looked up the lock. Thanks you. The key was found later but I was impatient.
It is storage and furniture. Just don't paint it. Congratulations on college! Go fourth an be amazing. Love from Chicago.
I'd use 19mm hose.
it is all about surface area to separate the oil.

Thanks very much! Just opened a truck that's been locked for 33 years! Trick is to use a small screwdriver.
Ok! ok! what was in the trunk??? lol 33 years. wow.
My lock doesn't look like that and still won't open. it has a double slot. I think I broke a piece of metal off into it so might be hooped
Sadly I can not help with other locks, but there are locksmiths out there that will help if you ask them. Love from Chicago.
Thank you so much!!! It worked!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this! I bought an old trunk at a friend's yard sale - she had no key for it so she left it unlocked and open - then another friend of ours accidentally locked it while admiring it 😅 With your help I had it open in minutes!
Fantastic!
I still can't get mine open and I literally have the exact same one... all it does is spin the lock but without actually opening it and it's not roasted in anyway.
I just got it!!! WhooHoo! It was much harder to get in mine than when you had done yours, but thank you so much for the video. Much appreciated! :)
Determination. Now that is how you get things done. Good on you mate.
How hard is to pull the stators from the other sides my bearings are whining but only on the stators
I could not find a dependable bearing supplier. Ford/Lincoln do not have rebuild parts. They just replace the whole trans for $8K to $16K (usd). I found a used trans for $3k and paid about $1K to get it installed at the only trans shop in ALL of Chicago willing to do it. They had/have experience removing and installing Toyota Prius Taxi trans and wanted to try their hand at the Lincoln trans. Bottom-line: they did an amazing job, but I had to open the used trans I got from CA before they could install it. The old trans had low ATF and the color of the ATF was almost black. The used trans from CA had beautiful ATF. It was not new but had no signs of any breakdown and all the gears were polished looking. (I got lucky) I come from a world where trans cost under $1k, so this whole hybrid thing is new to me, but above $8k for a new trans is ridiculous (imo). I still have the old working trans that, like yours, only need new bearings. Maybe I will sell on eBay as a working core??? Love from Chicago.
@@GallowayChicago I’m rebuilding mine my self. Hope it will went well
That was my plan-B. It was my plan-A, but after watching CZcams vids that showed people replacing the main and regen bearings, I was unable to source the OEM or better bearings, and I did not want to buy a bunch of mystery bearings without knowing they would 100% work. I wish you much luck. As long as the gears don't have broken teeth, the trans should be a good candidate for a simple bearing swap. Please let me know how you get on mate. love from Chicago.
I looks a similar design to the RAV4 HEV eCVT? Are they all unreliable?
"In my opinion": This design is amazing, I can see why multiply major auto manufactures use a variation of this design, but in the case of the 2013-2014 Ford/Lincoln hybrid failures and subsequent recall people were replaced with early assembly mechs that did not apply enough RTV sealant and these unit leaked vital trans fluid used for lubricating and cooling the EV drive systems. There are some that speculate that the roughly 10 cents of saving on using less RTV sealant was an effort to build in a service mileage timer, but I do not believe it because seal failure had/has too many variables besides just mileage. In any event, The failure was handled with a soft-recall and a subsequent assembly adjustments that resolved the issue for future hybrid autos. That is why part transplants from younger hybrids are preferred to rebuilt units. My wife's 2014 MKZ hybrid get over 42 MPG on the highway and around 32 MPG in the city. This is comparable to our much beloved 2003 VW Golf Diesel 5-speed that gets around 44 MPG. (love from Chicago)
Who cares!!!!!
Mate thank you so much - I stupidly locked my late mums trunk with stuff inti - and spent hours trying to unlock and you method to surprise worked a treat. I really damage it as obviously massive sentimental value - so massive thanks - cheers mate :)
Good to hear
Thanks for this! Like a few hundred others I found this super-helpful! I took a second screwdriver and used it to lift the mechanism once the first side was free, while working my way to the other side to free that part. We have two of these trunks full of old stamps!
Glad it helped!
Bro how to change hose pipe of turbo? Actully I opened it but can't find location from upside
The Turbo vacuum actuator goes through a 12v vacuum relay on VW TDIs. The relay is usually connected right to the firewall. -BUT- You should be aware that there are several points of failure on these turbo systems. . . from: (a)diesel intake soot clogging up the turbo pathways, (b)the vacuum actuator rusting to the point where it will not hold a vacuum, (c) the oil line not supplying oil used to both lubricate and cool the turbo, (d) the electrical failure of the 12v vacuum relay, (e) failure of the primary vacuum uptake hard black hose by the brake booster, (f) the intercooler filling with fluid (combustion byproducts) and causing turbo under-performance, and lastly (g) the failure of the rubber vacuum hoses themselves. (TDI love from Chicago)
This 100% helped me out. I bought an old trunk from my work today to store some clothes in, didn’t realize it was locked. I was about to cut the latch. Thanks man! Also I work at a thrift store and no loot to be had :( but I can now use it as intended
Right on
Now I can recover all the gold. That's great.
This worked for me. Big thanks!
Great to hear!
super helpful, especially your very straightforward instruction! thanks so much !!
No worries!
Do you still have it on?
No. Not because it didn't work but because it is more expensive then the more dependable OEM replacement Duel-Mass Flywheels. As it turns out the OEM DMF were trash with too much slop causing early failures. The only reason to install a SMF is for "High" performance or Track racing. Thanks for watching. TDI love from Chicago.
Accidently locked while carrying with strap. Tried lifting the sides a little...to jam it open. Take to a locksmith?? Looked up on internet. Saw your informative video. After a few minutes of trying....Success! Thank you so much. Trust me, you have performed a true public service.
Thanks for sharing
Thankyou!!,
Good catch finding that bulging capacitor and fixing it. Did you find what capacitor was missing? (Maybe not needed.)
It was not needed. Possible a filtering cap. It still works and on my desk right now. I guess it was made to last and that is why the company went out of business.
I need more suggestions. They have climbed in my chimney and we can hear them scratching inside the house. I just had my roof replaced a couple years ago ago as well as had the gutters done and I’m going to hate having to do that all over again because of these raccoons. Any suggestions besides calling a trapper.
These critters hate odd smells like perfumes and they hate getting their "hand" dirty, greasy, and sticky. Some people try using loud radios and others have used heaters to drive them out. I personally used a petroleum jelly on the gutters but over time that just looks dirty and getting it off is a mess. I have used the same petroleum jelly technik for kids jumping my fences and it works.
This worked first time, I was amazed - thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Ty so much for this video!! I was able to get into my grandfather's old army chest!
I had a screwdriver that was too large, but found that the more pointed side of scissors also works quite well well if used at the appropriate angle. Thank you so very much!!

Do you know if there is a weight saving over a standard DMF, fitting a standard SMF?
I was wondering the same thing. I though a lighter flywheel should be easier to start and stop and should result in more MPG or faster speeds. ANSWER: NO... I bought a ultr-lite 10 lb SMF flywheel and none of the above was true. A weighted flywheel starts the diesel better. A weighted flywheel balances better for higher RPMs. A weighted flywheel does not make odd noises. A weighted flywheel in general "feels" better. Needless to say, I remove the ultra-lite SMF flywheel and can only see it useful in a mid-speed (40s-50s) long-distance track usage. (TDI Love from Chicago)
Do u have to prelOAD SUSPENSSION with these poly bushings or NOT
I would not recommend these Polyurethane bushings because they are too hard and without an outer sleeve they deform easily. They are better then rubber for longevity but at a cost of feeling very crack and bump in the road.
Rite all polyurathanes bushing are very ridged in feel for sure , but i was wondering if instaling polyurathane bushings will have to also then Preload the suspension after installing them when tightening theyr bolts!some say NOT for poly bushings but YES for the conventional OEM !
Thank you! :-)
Great idea..however, it's unsuccessful for me..mechanism goes all the way around and still locked..I am probably causing more damage while bending up the screw drivers...not your fault, not mechanically inclined..lol
I’m not sure if there are different sizes of these locks, but if anyone else is having trouble with the size of the flathead screwdriver, 1/8” worked for me
Thanks! I acquired 3 trunks of a different brand but the locks work in a very similar way as the one in your video. I managed to get them open after some struggle. I intend to keep using the trunks to store blankets and stuff and I don't want to have to go through the screw driver process every time that I need to open them. Is there some way that I can just disable the locks with out having to destroy them or break them off of the trunk? I can feel springs inside that hold the locking tabs out. I wonder if you could jam something down inside of those little access holes above each locking tab in order to keep the locking tabs from extending out? There must be a lot of people that would like to just bypass the lock mechanism to make their trunks more usable.
There is, To my knowledge, no way to stop the two latches without disassembling the back plate and removing the springs. The springs are just bent pieces of metal and the typical spiral mental springs that come to mind. You could also hold them in with toothpicks and "Crazy Glue" them while holding them in for 30 mins, but this would have the possibility of being very very messy. I also guess you could take a chisel or Dremel and cut a notches in the inner ring so that the two locking ears have nothing to lock into. That might be reversible (If needed). Love from Chicago and Let us know how it goes.
Thank you so much for this. It worked perfectly.
Glad it helped
What are the diameters of the hoses?
3mm 4mm 5mm it was a kit sold on eBay. The hoses are amazing over the OEM rubber hoses, but do not try the larger ones because these are all vacuum hoses and the larger ones have a side wall that is too thin. TDI / Electric Love from Chicago.

Every time my toddlers lock my steamer trunk, I come back to this video and it works like a charm! You're a lifesaver!
When my brother and I were kids we would lock each other in trunks like this one and roll it down the stairs. I think all the newer trunks are just ornamental and would not last in a house full of 4 boys, but the older ones were built to last.
I was skeptical, but your method worked for an old brass steamer trunk of my late mother's. Thanks!
