  • Learn to replace a pressed wheel bearing in a Ford, specifically a 95 Ford Windstar, but this method will be similar for all pressed bearing vehicles.
    The main steps are to take off the spindle nut, tire, brake caliper, and rotor. Then remove the bolts from the lower control arm ball joint, tie rod, and strut. Remove the steering knuckle, then press out the bearing and hub/spindle. Then press in your new bearing and hub/spindle. This job is a little more complex but can still be easily done by any amateur mechanic. You will save $400-1000 depending on your vehicle.

    Thanks! It's always good to get a refresher so you can remember what to expect! I use my own video for "How to change the drum brakes" lol

    The only thing I would add is to take the ABS sensor mount loose so you don't stretch the wire. Good video.

    Thank you very much Chris for the "long and detailed" version. One won't realize how much more useful the "long and detailed version" is compared to the "short and fast version" until he/she starts doing this job! I guess the majority just watch for fun and aren't willing to get hands dirty. Hence, much more "Likes" on the "short and fast version".

    It’s amazing to watch some of your earlier videos and see the difference in your tool arsenal from then to now. Using a serpentine belt wrench as a breaker bar is something I never would’ve thought of. And of course your Milwaukee electric impact wrench has better mobility and usually what I see you use.

    Great video. That was step by step. I am a female and I do most of my repairs by watching videos on CZcams. Thanks chris

    On some wheel bearings the tone ring is actually built inside the bearing itself so if you install the bearing in the hub backwards the speed sensor can't read anything and you have to do this all over again. your ABS malfunction light would come one. if you look at the rubber gaskets on both sides of the bearing one will have tracks in it, that's the tone ring. if your CV axle doesn't have a tone ring and your car has ABS that means the tone ring is built into the bearing so double check before you install that bearing

    The budget has increased from 2013 to 2019! The latest videos have new clips, blue locktite and name brand tools. Thanks for the videos!

    Honestly the best CZcams channel to learn anything about cars and tools to use

    That's the idea! I love when my videos teach someone how to do something!!!

    You can easily do it as long as you have the right tools. Def need all the tools in the video (except the pneumatic impact wrench). Get a breaker bar, it will help you so much! Plus, the video is a great reference for when you take it apart and put it back together.
