  • Ford Mondeo MK3 Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement, Disc and Pads
    In this video, I show you how to fit a wheel bearing to our Mondeo mk3. We also fit a new disc rotor and fit new brake pads. I have a few problems that you might come up against so check this video out to see how I overcame these problems.

    This guy is single handedly keeping my mk3 mondeo on the road. This video gave me the confidence to replace the offside rear bearing. The tip about using the gas blowtorch is pure gold as I'd never tried before that and using my old man's blowtorch the 4 nuts cracked right off. Legend 👍

    I've got to do the exact same wheel bearing this week on my mk3 Estate. It's great when you can see real life problems being sorted on a driveway, brilliant video😇

    Dealing with problems as they arise, rusty and stuck bolts and, all done on the driveway where most of us have to work. This is far more helpful than being shown how to do it in a garage with hydraulic lift, compressor and all mod cons.

    Another idea for fitting new discs is to spray paint the entire disc In heat resistant paint. This will prevent corrosion on the outer surfaces, and the contact surfaces will wear off with the (careful at first) use of the brakes.I forgot to add....superb job with video sir....well done!

    Thanks again Martin, your a star mate.... I changed my wheel bearing / hub yesterday and had to apply all the tips you mentioned. Had a problem with one of the bottom T50 bolts even applying heat it started to strip the inside star.... I am an electrician by trade and im lucky enough to have a good quality battery powered Impact driver and as a last resort I tried using it and it did the job. The hub cost me £46 and I did it in about 3 hours ..... I was quoted by a local garage £371 to do the job.... so i'm really pleased to have saved all that money as im semi retired now and cant afford big garage bills.... Thanks again, Steve

    I did this today on a 06 saloon thanks to the tips in this video. The bolts holding on the hub are T50 but you need to wire brush the crap out of them first or you may wonder if they are T50 , I bought a King Tony long reach T50 socket well worth the few pounds if your in a hurry
    it didn't seem necessary to take off the handbrake cable on the saloon but I did heat the brake carrier bolts to make it easier to get them off luckily it went smoothly all in all it took about a hour and a half from wheel off to wheel on

    Another good vid, Martin. As a 'top tip' - for jacking up my cars I use a solid rubber ice hockey puck on the top of my trolley jack head. They fit almost perfectly and only cost a couple of quid on ebay. You can even get them with a slit cut into them to locate securely on the sill lip. I stole the idea from my local tyre shop who use them all the time ;). Cheers, Mark.

      All my Mondeo road wheels were seized to the hubs. Quickest way to break them off is to loosen the wheel nuts (leave em all on one full turn) and drop the car (not too fast) off the trolley jack. If you're doing it on the scissor jack you're probably screwed- rubber mallet might work but you've got to be brave/stupid to work under a car on a scissor. Spent ages cleaning up the lip on the alloys before putting them back on. I'm now carrying a trolley and hammer in the car all the time (Estate so there's loads of space) in case I get a puncture. Never had this issue on any other car, it's like the alloy actually welds itself to the hub

Bolts must be replace with new or not? and the bolts must have this blue sealing glue when mount the new one or it is not necessary? You believe that the cheap one can have reliable quality or not to think to buy it at all? Thanks, Labis

Mine has gone so another job to do. Secondly, which brand of rotor and pads do you generally go for, as the prices vary considerably at Eurocarparts?

    Good man, reduce the circumference of the socket with a grinder instead. That saves you from botching brand new parts! Nice cat, btw.

      You can blank them off but you'll get an engine management light on and it might run rough unless the computer is re mapped I think.

    This might be a dumb question but how do you know when wheeling bearings go bad? Is it just by sound or can you feel it while driving. Reason I ask is my car is 15 years old with 180k miles and I've never changed them.
    Beautiful cat by the way.
    All the best,
    Jay

      +Jay Dighsx If you jack the car up until the wheel is free from the ground, the put hands at 9 oclock and 3 oclock, and try and move it.. if it has any play that's an indication the bearings are worn.

    also martin, when i do the passenger side bearing, i haven't got the winding tool, you say i can use an allen key, can you tell me which way it winds in ?
    cheers bud.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  8 лет назад

      +oakfront The passenger is a left handed thread so you have to screw it in by turning the allen key anticlockwise whilst pushing the piston a little as well.

      hi martin, thanks for the advice, but to save anyone else 4 hours of hardship in the cold and rain, mine is an 2003 mondeo and the passenger side piston rewind is CLOCKWISE NOT ANTICLOCKWISE. i can laugh about it now, but i sure wasn't laughing at the time, and it aint done my knuckles any good (whats left of them i mean).... ;-)

    • @lesrogers7310
      @lesrogers7310 6 лет назад

      You should ALWAYS reassemble with copper grease on any bolts. These bolts should be torqued anyway and this will prevent them coming loose. Copper grease is especially useful on the wheel studs/bolts as these can (and do) seize in place, making an emergency wheel change a nightmare!

      +Ian Just they wasn't totally rounded off but if I would have forced them, they would have rounded off so I went down a size to get over the job. gotta use a 1/2" in future but they had to go back in coz I didn't have any replacements. In an ideal world, i'd fit new bolts but if you don't have them, what else is there to do.

    • @JamesAllen300
      @JamesAllen300 6 лет назад

      i agree with you Martin. If the pads are a good quality make eg Brembo, Jurid, Pagid, you shouldn't need to put copperslip on the pads. It's the preparation of the pad carriers and caliper itself that most people forget to do. Im a fully qualified mechanic, and even though not in the mechanics game anymore, i always do my pads and disc changes the same way Eric does at South Main auto. It's extremely important to file off any uneven bit of rust where the pad clips sit as this will cause the pad to get jammed in the carrier and wear unevenly. Cleaning the caliper sliding pins is crucial too.

    That brake disc came off way to easily. It's not proper on if it doesn't require an acetylene torch and a sledgehammer. Bonus points if you split it along it's "lenght". Ask me how I know.... :)

      Ok my mistake I thought I saw some on the caliper as you took the pads out. In our discount car parts warehouses here you have to buy that stuff separately. I never did it on my mondeo though so I don't know. The brakes were new when I got it so I guess they will last a few years.
