MKZ Wheel Bearing Replacement

[@benzahm6056]

Dealership wanted to charge me $620...guess we're breaking out the tools😂

It's very straight forward job. You can get it done with basic hand tools.

Mee af!!!!

I replaced the knuckle on a lincoln mkx that was damaged in an accident with a ford edge knuckle and hub that said would fit but the hub diameter is just a little too big so doesnt allow wheel to sit on the hub the way it should. The old hub and bearing are fine thinking I could just swap them out but I didnt see bolts holding the hub on but might be behind the heat shield.

This is cake. Try the first gen Fusion wheel bearings- they’re press in. These ones a toddler could do in an hour.

For the torque - how certain are you that the axle nut goes back in at 147 ft/lbs of torque?

[@jayak3768]

This is a much better design. No special tools needed to remove the bearings.

[@VansHomeServices]

Nope it's straight forward

[@PrimerBravo]

Have you done a video on the rear?

[@VansHomeServices]

No I haven't, sorry

[@ericalonso2223]

Way easier to do than the previous gen mkz.

I just did the hub ion my 2013 mks , 94k mi , and the rotor was held on by one allen flush hed bolt with I might add had lock tight on it , never been off before , if I didn't own a set of torches , I would have never have broke the bond of the lock tight , after that it was just as the video described / Frank

I've dealt with a few of them over the years, never easy to get them out. I'm glad the rest of the video was a help to you.

[@jessebeatty9696]

Is it the same for the back

[@VansHomeServices]

the back won't have a drive shaft to deal with, it should be a little easier.

Thanks

[@VansHomeServices]

You're welcome

[@HectorViezcas-k8e]

For the torque - how certain are you that the axle but goes back in at 146 ft/lbs of torque?

[@VansHomeServices]

I'm not 100%, I got that number from autospecz.com/lincoln/cars/2016/mkz2.0/torque-specs_front.php
