I just did this job on my 2008 Explorer Sport Trac (2wd) following your procedure. Used the Motorcraft hubs and it took me about an hour. I spent $400 on the hubs, and think this job at the dealership would have been $1000 easy. Turns out only the driver side bearing was bad but with 152k miles I replaced both sides, as I think suspension pieces in pairs is good practice. Thanks Brian.

Great video; couple of comments: the front axle nut on a 2003 Ford explorer is 31mm not 32. Use a hub puller, I got one at Auto zone for $25 (or you can rent it from them) it made a huge difference. The hub assy nuts were a bear to access even after pushing the axle back, had to use a short 15mm socket; the long one wouldn't work. Make sure you have a breaker bar or cheater. It took me 6 hrs which included two trips to the store and a lot of patience. Thanks FordTechMakuloco; you saved me a ton of cash and the install was a success. BRAVO! (PS - Don't forget to use well made hubs and... plug in the new sensor)

My set goes from 30 and jumps to 32 as does most axle socket sets and 32 works just fine never a problem.

Much thanks for this excellent tutorial. One of the best videos I have ever seen on the net. Ford wanted $785 to replace my left front hub assembly. With a dealer discount from a friend at an auto parts store, I did the job myself for about $150 total. Every step in the video was right on and very helpful. Explorer rides very quiet now.

I just have to say thanks!! The job went exactly as you show in the video, no trouble, job done, noise gone. The first side took me about two hours, the second side half that. Considering this vehicle calls Hawaii island home, local mechanics were quoting $1200 and up to do the job. Total cost was under $400 with shipping and a couple new tools for my kit. Used the Timken parts (pt# HA590156) and was not surprised to find that the original OEM bearings I was taking off were Timken.

I have a 98 AWD Explorer that was badly in need of replacing both front hub assemblies. I had to turn the radio up loud so I could hear it over the noise. I watched what ever videos I could find on the subject. Yours was far and away the best. The video and sound were excellent. The instructions were spot on. I especially appreciated your giving the socket sizes and torque specs. I replaced both this weekend in about 5 hours. The only problem I ran into was finding that one of the ABS wires had a slit in the insulation and I had to reuse the factory sensor. I'll swap in a new one at some point. I didn't want to wait for a replacement. That leads me to my one suggestion. Although it might be common sense, I would advise people not to cut the ABS sensor wire until you've inspected the new one. Thanks for the help! I will be checking out the rest of your videos.

Very helpful. Was able to do this using just this video. As with every job, the right tools are essential. A BIG HAMMER makes all the difference. If you can't knock the hub and bearing loose get a bigger hammer. Passenger side took me a full day - was stuck without transportation and had to use a household hammer. Driver side was a matter of a few hours just because of a bigger hammer to knock the hub/bearing loose. Also had to put the rotor and brake caliper back on so I could jam a screw driver between the rotor and caliper to keep the axel from spinning so I could loosen and then later tighten the 32mm axel nut. Like I said I'm using basic toolbox tools to get my job done. Not ideal but it can be done. Would have spent hundreds at the shop if I didn't have this video. Many thanks.

Great video. Clear and concise. If i could offer a suggestion. Instead of hammering on the back of the hub you can use a 1/2 inch or even a 1 inch square stock (I used about an 8 inch one) and you start the car (careful you do not press the brake pedal (if you do need to press it you can put a C-clamp on the caliper to keep it in place,) then use the power steering pump to pop the hub off. Be careful the bar doesn't come loose. I just reached in through the window and rocked the steering wheel so I could watch the progress. Worked like a charm.

I'm with TurboChargedDad, I'd be going nuts not cleaning the bolts first. I bought a very good 03 Explorer 4.0 SOHC for $400 that has the two most tortured front CV joints in existence that have not yet broken. That is what brought me to this video, especially since seeing some of your other vids. Your experience and training is quite obvious and comes through on video very clearly. Great detail, nothing unnecessary included, good enough with the video that I saw everything that mattered. Keep it up, but I sure wish you would do more of the traditional Fords. Pre-modular era is what I use generally. I try to stay to 87 - 96 F-series trucks with straight six or 460 HEAVILY preferred, any Ranger preferring the simplicity of the 4.0 OHV V6, and the 2.3 Pinto engine versions. Help out us old farts with our "real" Ford trucks. And if you ever decide to do some Mark I or Mark II Capri, or Merkur repairs I'll be watching them intently also. lol Just out of curiosity, do you know if there was there any reason, real or imagined, why they dropped the F150's 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern that was used since the Model T era.? I had a 26 Model T on a Model A frame with wire wheels using the same bolt pattern. The only problem was they were 17 inch as I recall. I may be mistaken on the tire size, but correct size tires were hard to find. Same question regarding seven lug wheels. I can only imagine it was just an April Fool's Day prank that got out of hand. They really need to keep the accountants out of the design and planning stages. No accountant should be allowed to speak in an auto manufacturing facility (or ANY production facility) until the assembly lines are rolling ! As I understand it, the reason why the 64 Mustang never got IRS from day one, was because the accountants said we would not know the difference,. I would know, I am sure you would too ! Leave engineering to the engineers !!!

Noise was still there so I returned the hub and the parts guy was good enough to give me another one … Installed it and still had the noise when driving.. when sitting it spins smoothly and has just a slight noise from the brake pads … ISO I replaced the cv axel …lol…noise is still there!…. Also checked the fluid level in the front differential….any ideas would be great !

Thanks for the excellent video. I replaced the left front hub on a 06 Ford Explorer 4WD and the video was very helpful. Just a couple of notes. If you don't have a lift and air tools it can be helpful to break the hub nut with the wheel on the ground, or if on floor jacks insert a steel rod or big breaker bar in between the wheel studs to prevent rotation (doesn't hurt if the stud threads are marred as they are replaced anyway. Also, my hub nut was not 32mm it was 1 1/4". Thanks again for a great job with the video.

I just want to thank you for an excellent video. I just finished changing out both of my 2007 Ford Explorer Front Wheel Bearing hub assemblies. Took me 3 hours for both. The learning curve was teaching my son to use the explorer tire jack. He is 15 and needed to learn how to change a tire. Worked out excellent! Installed Timkins. I was wondering if you have a video for changing 2007 Ford Explorer brakes. They are not needed now but would like to attempt in the future. Thanks again for an excellent video. Saved me anywhere between $275- $575 depending on repair shop.

Took less than an hour including brake hardware removal and assembly. Removing the brake dust shield is key to pulling this off IMO. Looking forward to the passenger side tomorrow. :-D

Also, I used an offset box wrench to help with the bolts that hold the hub on because apparently my dexterity isn't quite good enough to effectively use the socket / impact wrench as you recommended. Otherwise, this was quite helpful. Thanks again.

I agree with the others. This is a GREAT video, thanks for making it. My sons 07 Explorer AWD has a noise in the front when turning right (appears to be coming from the left side not 100% sure tho) It has 148,000 miles. It had the right front bearing replaced around 15,000 miles ago. It had a complete front differential rebuild at 100,000 miles. Bearings, seals plus the ring & pinion. I checked for play in the front hubs as your video suggests, however both sides are tight and there doesn't seem to be any roughness in the bearing as I rotate the tires. With the price of the hub assembly I wanted to get your opinion before I bought the left front bearing.

That is the idea, people tell me I should go teach. It would be best to pull off the knuckle assy with bearing like we do then bring the knuckle in to the Ford Dealer to have them press it out. We have a special adapter we use otherwise it is a real pain. A press is a must. That is one my most requested videos and as soon as I get one in I will shoot it.

Great video. I am actually going to replace my last wheel bearing, drivers side. I replaced the other three. My 02 explorer has 215k. I have a limited 4x4.

Absolutely love the info and videos, have a question, 2014 Ford Explorer, have a rubbing/grinding sound from the front end. Thought it was the hub/bearing, replaced that, replaced both brake rotors and still have the noise. noise increases or decrease with the speed of the axle, question is how do I determine if the axles are bad, which one to replace. Don't have access to a lift, trying to do the best I can. PTU is not leaking, don't believe that is the problem. appreciate the help

I replaced mine in the spring and it needs to be replaced again now. You made a comment about it going bad after 5000 miles if it is not tightened correctly. Assuming it is not just a bad bearing, what do I avoid the next time to not ruin this bearing?

Great video! I used it to replace passenger side hub bearing assembly on a 2007 Ford Sport Trac. The only problem is now the ABS and Traction Control lights won't go off. I tried all the suggestions on You Tube to turn them off with no luck. What would you suggest?

Great video, Thank you.. My 03 sport trac is giving me the ABS shutter and the tires look to be a little out of camber. It has 190K so I think I will try the new bearings.

Thank you for taking the time to post this video! I feel confident I can handle the front hubs on my 2005 Explorer 4x4 thanks to the attention to detail in your video. I'd love to see a video of the rear hubs done. I believe I have one hub on each end that needs to be replaced, so I may as well do all 4. Do you recommend Motorcraft parts? If so, I'll swing by my local Ford dealer and grab them. For something as important as the wheel hubs, spending extra for OEM may not be a bad call.

Definitely get the Ford stuff for all four wheels. I do have a rear bearing video coming out and I do show the pressing but the video may only be useful to instruct how to get it out as the press tools are special tools.
