There's a much easier way to remove the spindle from the strut. Put a putty knife in the cutaway where the bolt came out. Put the bolt in threaded side and tighten the bolt to the putty knife, this will push the cutaway apart, and the spindle will just fall off.

Thanks so much! Your videos have saved me thousands of dollars for something I could totally do myself! I ended up replacing the whole knuckle assembly as it was only $30 more than just the bearings!

[@HeavyMetals1969]

Though every repair has its own issues this vid saved me hundreds. I also replaced the lower control arm/ball joint (They are not separate on the Focus 2012) Much thanks. I will repair anything I can, and "the man" can pound sand.

19:56 Just a thought on installing the knuckle on the strut, if you can drive a chisel or something into that knuckle slot where the bolt goes in to spread the slot out some I believe it would go on the strut easier

[@CaroleScotese]

Great Videos. Always very professional and always include spec fastener torques!

I like how you didn't mention that the bearing has a magnetic ring for the ABS sensor and it can be put in backwards I followed your tutorial, but put the bearing in backwards only learning It was possible from another video.

[@TheOmaJohn]

I'm not sure if you're strange for liking that you put something back together incorrectly because it wasn't covered, or if you're strange for using sarcasm on a video that shares a ton of information and was obviously made pretty carefully and with knowledge. But hey, I like how you provided a bit of information that was missed in the original video. That's helpful.

[@brutusjb3814]

@@TheOmaJohn sure the video is informative, but only to the point that it is possible to ruin a component you are installing.

@@brutusjb3814 thanks for helping everyone else out. Nice work pal.

[@jessefincham8899]

🤣 😂I’m done.

[@1TPR4LIFE1]

Lol you shouldn’t be doing repairs if you didn’t know about the abs ring

I didn't realize there's this much going on replace the bearings on a focus

[@vanillagoose4444]

How much ton of hydraulic press should i require for the job, would rather invest in one than pay a garage to press the bearing in, nice video its 100% accurate

[@pstapsta2549]

Is it necessary to replace the Seal / Dust Shield? I didn't notice that step on reassembly, seems like it should also be replaced.

[@streetpunk99]

Do you know of any reason why after this job the wheel speed sensor would be throwing traction and abs codes as well ashill assist. It worked prior to the bearing change and the sensor has been replaced and cleared with a scan tool. All the codes immediately return as soon as you start driving.

[@wooddawg4868]

It' 's good to have a bearing pusher but most of the time folks just buy the entire knuckle with the bearing already in from the factory because the cost is not that much.

[@Daisy30y03]

Amazing video, bro. Tysm

[@richardmoses3202]

Does a new wheel bearing need to be pack with 5grease before installation?

[@NG-tz8wo]

I just bought a knuckle with the bearing online. A lot easier and quicker.

[@lewisandsusancooper7353]

by not mentioning the reluctor ring orientation you cost me another bearing and the time to do the job again but otherwise a good video

[@perjian1697]

Why did you fight the retainer ring out with a hammer and chisel?! LoL. All you had to do was put the snap ring pliers back on it and rotate your wrist and walk it out. 😆

[@derekrobertson4350]

Decent video but missing the most important step about the abs ring, also using the wrong torque wrench to torque the wheels.

[@jasondaniels6277]

So what do i do if the bearing was put in the wrong way?

[@davidanthony5894]

A mechanic replaced my bearing last year. They didn't use a press, instead they just hammered out the bearing. Immediately after, the brake pads had uneven contact with the rotor, generating rotational noise. After years of replacing the rotors/pads/calipers, it turns out my hub was dented - All this was solved when the hub was replaced. Do you think this was caused due to the original mechanic being careless when replacing the bearing?

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, THANKS

Great video, thanks a lot! Very clear

Great video

[@javiersandoval1291]

excellent and clean job....thanks

[@larrygarza9334]

thank you so much

[@independentcontactors339]

Got right to it with out a bunch of bs. I like that

[@aaronreash814]

Pretty sure you just saved me close to $300 in one video, shop called said i need a bearing and a battery, i asked is it bad they said some play, i said it can wait, just gotta talk my friend into doing the knuckle for me and see how much that will cost me.

[@travisbartin6438]

Anyone else notice he forgot to put the snap ring back on at around 17:00 you can see it’s not in the knuckle.

[@Flangobeast]

16:02 he put it in. It’s only on 1 side in the bearing there’s not another on the knuckle

[@jkinggarcia]

Yea I can’t do this at home

[@fredwilliams420]

Why not use the other bearing to start with?

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

4:39 and a hour latter using 5 hammers

[@Fidel-f4f]

There's no way to check or make sure the mechanic doesn't damage another inside part when it is changing the wheel bearing

[@a___________r414]

too much lubricant / grease under the brake disc ... only slightly - for example slightly with ceramic spray

Why dont manufactures do a bolt in hub assembly.
