    Another even cheaper fix is to remove the access panel on top of the dash and just tie the servo that controls the ac doors in the open position and call it good. You’ll won’t have access to the heat and defrost vents anymore. It’ll be 100% dash, but if you’re in Florida like me, who cares. 😂

    There is so many things wrong with this video, that’s not how you pack a bearing ,that is not bearing greases ,that’s not how a bearing endplay is set and most importantly it’s an oil system not grease now oil and grease will be mixing so please no one do any of this .

    • @dangerdavefreestyle
      @dangerdavefreestyle Месяц назад

      i agree with setting the bearing as i have the official ford book for that and it shows a procedure with a few steps he missed including measuring how much force it takes to spin the hub but im willing to bet he is driving it just fine and im grateful for a video of this quality that puts everything into perspective. his grease is fine everybodys a packologist, it just has to fully be embedded into the crevices perhaps till some comes out the other side.

    Most of the time you can disconnect the vacuum line on top of the dash. Then spray just a tiny amount of WD-40 into it and reconnect. It has worked on 3-4 vans that I have repaired and my own. Long as the actuator/actuators aren’t bad. Otherwise this is a great down and dirty work around.

    • @pattianderson3926

    @isorozco511 Год назад

    For the E torx heres a tip. Get a map torch from home depot (not expensive) and heat up the hub in the area that the torx bolt goes into. Not the rotor, just that sleeve shaped part along the sides. This loosens the grip and lock tite on the torx bolt threads and makes removing it much easier.

    Do NOT loosten the nut after the clicking stops. There is a preload in a tapered roller and far more of them fail from being too loose than too tight. If the hub turns too freely it is WRONG. There is to be a slight drag.
