The 1st person Go Pro shots are really helpful for your videos. It's amazing how many DIY videos are out there that have the host explaining the steps, but not showing it with clear camera shots.
+Casey Burnett Thank you! Its really hard getting all the shots, narrating each step and putting it all together. Super time consuming and you just hope you didn't miss a step or delete some footage. I appreciate the encouragement and to know someone recognizes it as value added makes it worth while for me. Thank you for watching!
did mine on a 2004 explorer,IT WAS A BEAR,bent the ram on a 20 ton press ,had to burn the bearing and hub outyour video makes it look very simplistic, thanks for your time anyway
Tim, great video as usual. You are organized, efficient and knowledgeable, much appreciate the time you spend putting out videos to help us do our own repairs. God Bless!
Great video. I think for the extra money and age of the vehicle I’m just gonna to buy the knuckle loaded with new bearing, hub, and parking brake shoes. Thanks for the information on torque specs and removal procedures.
The way you explained is fantastic, you were clear and to the point, very good, congrats I could not think of cutting the rotor to use it as a support tool, awesome idea, thanks.
Excellent video. Detailed but to the point. Much better than most of the shade tree mechanics videos you find on You Tube. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
You’re the man! Looking to do this on my sport track... what a procedure. Jaguar wheel hub was super simple just use a flat head to pop out and socket with hammer to reset. Funny how the Jaguar luxury car was easier than the Ford (same company).
It's funny that I've watched this job done anywhere from absolute insanity-inducing to your example which went pretty smoothly... Apparently the rust can make a huge difference. My gf's got an 06 and I can tell many bearings will need done on it by this March. I'd say both fronts and probably at least one rear but maybe both of them. Not a lot of wobble, if any, but definitely noisy. Your video was really clear... Unfortunately I probably won't be tackling the rear ones on my own, and will have to pay for it, but the fronts, I'm going to attempt those myself. Great video man.
I think on the lower end presses if the space between the Horizontal I-Beams for the work support isn't wide enough between the beams to allow the hub to pass by and drop between, you'll have to find a deeper hat rotor or use higher wider steel pieces or strong wood blocks to put on each side of the rotor.
I like your video very much. You are very professional in your work. I am currently using your method with an old rotor. Makes it so easy. My biggest question is what did you use on the opposite side to level the knuckle when pressing out the bearing?
I got a Ford Tempo with 80,00km in it. Do I have to change rear or front wheel bearings due to mileage or just change them when the wheels move in and out due to bearing looseness?
No mileage interval for changing those wheel bearings. Just replace if inspection shows signs of play or they feel or sound noisy. Thanks for tuning in!
Why did you replace the hub? Since you have a press, why not just press the outer race of the old bearing off the old hub and re-use it? Thanks in advance.
hi I've got a question for you. I have a 1990 Chevy k1500 that I am going to replace the power steering gearbox on do you know if the remanufatured gear boxes are already lined up in the straight forward position? or do you have to line them up yourself? and what I am saying is if I have my wheels set straight and steering wheel should the shafts on the new gearbox be lined up that way too? and if I have to line the new one up how do I find the center line? any help here would be greatly appreciated?
The only way to know for sure is to rotate the input shaft on the replacement box and count the turns. Then divide in half and turn back that many times. If the truck has airbags then be sure to have the wheel centered before removing the old box and bungee cord the steering wheel so it won't move.
I've got a question. Will a 20 ton press be enough to press the hub and bearing out? Also, will the same press be enough for the task of installing the new hub and bearing??
Believe it or not some times they won't budge with a 20 ton press. Heard After you get the hub and snap ring off sometimes a large sledge hammer can break the freeze before starting to using the press and might save you having to resort to torch heating or cutting.
I just paid a local shop to do this job. They charged me $550 plus labor for a brand new loaded knuckle. Apparently they don’t have a press or know how to do it this way. Seemed overly expensive.
I did it on a 2008 yesterday. No way that parking brake cable pulls out like that on that baby. You can compress the spring with a zip tie, which makes life easy. .
@@ThecardoctorTV the one I did is a bit different to the one you were working on. You can't just pull it out like the one you're doing there. It was the hardest part of the job for me. But for the next person, it is easy to deal with on that model by using a cable tie to just compress the spring. Then you can unclip it at the end and remove it easily. When it comes to installing the levers later, that part is easy too. Snip it when you are done.
+amanda heese If it's too loose then the bearing can become loose and the tire flop around. Too tight and it can cause premature failure of the bearing. There are a few automotive fasteners you can get away with winging it but these aren't ones you should try to do that with. Important for safety. Thanks for checking. Hope to see you again here soon.
+The Car Doctor, so is it possible to use a torque wrench that only goes to 140 to accurately torque to 200+ ? sorry such uneducated questions. Just trying to get an idea if mine was done right, I'm worried it was not. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Well of course it's not going to be completely accurate but if it's all you had access to its certainly better than not using one at all. You develop a feel for proper torque and I bet I could get pretty close without a torque meter but in this case I'm not sure that's a good idea just guessing. Swing by a shop with the proper tools or use one from a parts store that loans them out and get it torqued right. That way you can sleep at night and be rested enough to watch more Car Doctor videos without nodding off.
+Michael Habschmidt If your asking how to install the cable back onto the lever its a pain. I use a pair of pliers to hold the end of the cable then a pair of cutters to pinch down on the cable above the housing after I pull back the spring and then slip it over the lever when compressed. Its a real PITA but youll get it. Let me know if that's not what you were asking. Good luck!
Why can't they do a hub bearing assembly like on the front? Three bolts you take off and use a slide hammer to pull the old assembly off. I know the rear has the parking brakes but still the front is so much simpler on most vehicles.
That suspension setup is very similar to the 89-97 tbirds/mk8. No doubt it was inspired by that car, and they also had press out rears, and hubs in the front.
Fords are always such a pain in the ass to work on always turns into an ordeal, just replaced both hub assemblies on my colorado was way less involved than this
Oh c'mon, ur retired. I'm on my 3rd and last Ford. This last one is a 2015 Explorer Sport which I refer to as "Exploder" but her car name is Eilean. I told my daughter to pick a sassy but bitchy name for her because of her attitude, lol! My old reliable 06 expedition is taking me to work rn because bitchy Eilean wants a L-rear and a R-front hub bearing. Expedition only laid down once with a bad battery. This new Ford engineering, u gotta laugh to keep from crying 😅........ until ur PTU, waterpump or turbos go $$$😵$$$
Glad it helped and glad you didn't take it too personal. GM's have their own problems too and us techs have came up with pet names for all of them. Take care.
very informative. did anyone else notice that he did not blink for at least 4 minutes
J Jackson he was choking shirt was too tight he is ok now
It was actually a robot.
looked like a deer in the headlights... .
Nerves of steel.
Yeah most likely the cocaine

Excellent video. Detailed but to the point. Much better than most of the shade tree mechanics videos you find on You Tube. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I appreciate that. Blessings!
Great tutorial. Believe it or not I was struggling with the parking brake cable. Did not think about pulling it. Thank you
Glad it helped. You saved yourself some cash on this job. Good for you. Thanks for watching.
Great Video! Thank You! Other Sites make this look like NASA Rocket Science...You Sir are a great mechanic
I've not seen that done with a brake rotor before. Pretty cool! Plus i think i saw you blink in this one lol
+Me5Ponk I better use toothpicks next time to make sure I don't blink. Haha. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for dropping by!
excellent video. I definitely appreciate the torque specs and safety tip at the end!
You’re the man! Looking to do this on my sport track... what a procedure. Jaguar wheel hub was super simple just use a flat head to pop out and socket with hammer to reset. Funny how the Jaguar luxury car was easier than the Ford (same company).

Thank you. I hope the rust doesn't cause you any issues. We don't see a lot of rust here. Blessings.
Oh it's a never-ending battle here man. Thanks for the video though, it's a good resource for tackling a known problem bearing for many.
I think on the lower end presses if the space between the Horizontal I-Beams for the work support isn't wide enough between the beams to allow the hub to pass by and drop between, you'll have to find a deeper hat rotor or use higher wider steel pieces or strong wood blocks to put on each side of the rotor.
I wouldn't Wana be In a starring contest with this man.
1M?
this is how to produce a DIY video...great job
Great video, really like the torque specs saved me a lot of time. Thanks
+Leo H thanks, glad it helped. Blessings!
So the rear diff doesn’t have to be drained and the spider gears removed? (As I’ve seen in a lot of rear wheel bearing ‘how-to’s’)??
He said Ford EXPLODER, I love it 😂 😂
😂😂
Where I live, their called exploders 😂
I like your video very much. You are very professional in your work. I am currently using your method with an old rotor. Makes it so easy. My biggest question is what did you use on the opposite side to level the knuckle when pressing out the bearing?
great video and thanks for torque specs!
Thanks for this video. Way more helpful than most. Where did you get your torque specs from? Just different than a lot of others have said.
No reason to press the Hub Assy out from the back side like tht. Puller is faster form the outer side while entire Assy is still attached to vehicle.
What year Exploder? My 2002 required a 36MM socket to remove the axle nut.
I got a Ford Tempo with 80,00km in it. Do I have to change rear or front wheel bearings due to mileage or just change them when the wheels move in and out due to bearing looseness?
No mileage interval for changing those wheel bearings. Just replace if inspection shows signs of play or they feel or sound noisy. Thanks for tuning in!
Great video ,you are a great teacher!
it's a 35mm socket. great video very informative also
Was this a cheap part fix lot of labor or can I buy the entire assembly put together
¡GOOD VIDEO AND GREAT WORK ! GREETINGS FROM LIMA PERU !
Hi car doctor nice to see you.
Thanks. Good to see you
Nice video .Keep them coming.Jim

Can the real passenger tire come off while driving?
you'd love removing the rear hub bearing on a 2015 exploder. one with 3,000 miles took me an hour to extract.
+MAN drew Why had the bearing failed with such low miles? So I take it that they haven't made them any easier to do in 2015?!
Can u demonstrate how to install the support bar of a car?
How much would this job cost and labor thank you
Nice work
I've got a question. Will a 20 ton press be enough to press the hub and bearing out? Also, will the same press be enough for the task of installing the new hub and bearing??
Should work great for both. That's what I have.
Believe it or not some times they won't budge with a 20 ton press. Heard After you get the hub and snap ring off sometimes a large sledge hammer can break the freeze before starting to using the press and might save you having to resort to torch heating or cutting.
What size press will I need to remove the bearing?
Wish u could of shown how to re install the parking brake
Nice video...thanks for posting this.
Thanks for the reply.
you bet!
THANK YOU, VERY HELPFUL!!
Love the video man keep up the hard work

Its 2021 now so what would this repair cost...?

You bet. Thanks for watching
Could u have just replaced the whole hub and bearing? Thanx
how about supporting the baking plate on 2 pieces of wood if I don't have to through cutting the rotor
The backing plate isn't strong enough to take the force of the press unfortunately. You can borrow my rotor if you want no problem
thank you, I do not have ford to begin with, I am just watching the channel
Oh. Haha. Good.
Very good video !!!
Thanks for the encouragement! Take care
is rear wheel bearings the same on a 2006 exploder?
Yes
would this also apply to a 2005 lincoln aviator?
I would guess it is similar
SWEEET VID 🚹, THANK YOU 👍 👍
Glad to help!
what if the torque is not done at the exact amount? what will it do?
+amanda heese If it's too loose then the bearing can become loose and the tire flop around. Too tight and it can cause premature failure of the bearing.

whats the trick to installing the parking brake lever???

You bet! Take care
what size nut is the control arm and trailing arm
I forget. Sorry
I finally got it after 4 days the wheel bearing was seized on the rear Axel so ended up swapping out the whole ordeal
thanks for the reply anyway! appreciate it
good job.
Thanks Joel
How much would you quote on this job?
+dimas883 I foget what it came to but I guess about 350 per side
This is good stuff
+Endelt1 Thank you, Suoer glad you enjoyed it. Please stop back in again. Take care.

Ok, looks like I won’t be doing this at home.
its a little bit of a pain.

Hard to argue that!
I thought it was Found On Road Dead
OR fix or repair daily
BLINK DAMNIT!!
Today we are uhh... going to uhhh... change a... uhh... wheel bearing.
it's a 35mm lol
You made that look easy! Great video! Thank you!👍😀
