How To Replace Front Wheel Bearings Rotors & Brake Pads On 97-2003 2WD Ford F-150 Expedition RWD 2x4

[@danielsledge9181]

Just wanted to say thanks for this video--just did this on my truck today and followed along step by step. No more bad bearing hum/grinding noise! Also thanks for keepin it chill and not screaming at us. You're a good teacher.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching I appreciate 🍻 in a couple days your going to want to Jack up a wheel and double check there is no play in the rotor side to side. If there is adjust spindle nut in to the next hole the cotter pin wil fit through both the castle cover and nut! Then check again until no play 🍻 I always check this before I put the wheel on regardless of the torque procedure. That check checks the torque procedure was done correctly! not sure if I remember mentioning it ! Again thank you

[@danielsledge9181]

@@ATEMOFFROAD oh awesome--thanks for the follow up! Will definitely check that in a couple days...cheers!

Agent 86 Maxwell Smart thank you i appreciate it! Cheers

[@RyanRayOfficial]

I’ve been sitting here 3 days wondering why I can’t find a wheel hub assembly for my RWD Expedition. It doesn’t have one! Now I know the parts I’m looking for and most importantly , a fine example of how to get the job done . I just got the 5.4 truck with 100xxx miles on the dash and 200 miles on the fresh transmission. Now she’ll be back on the road and ready for work. Thanks a million!

I'm just dropping a comment here..I get on KZbin and watch videos on what people are doing. I work on and build my own engines and vehicles/hotrods. Just wanted to say this video is on of the best I've seen on the subject.

Hi. I wanted to follow suit (8/10/24). My nephew came over w/ his '01 F-150, and the LF wheel had LITERALLY no brake pads!! I have absolutely no idea how he was even driving/stopping that thing. I found this video, and i really appreciate the way you lead me to the finish line. I'd never done this before. He's safe now. Thank you so much.

[@brucecourt5277]

I've used KZbin videos for several vehicles for several years. This is the best auto repair vehicle that I've seen. Great job

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Very cool, thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

[@claytonalexander4467]

Thanks guy. Saved my ass with the torque specs. forgot the chiltons 30 miles away at home and tore apart the bearing. wasn't about to ruin my new parts by risking the trip either.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Sweet, those specs came from the Haynes book, if specs are fallowed and the rotor doesn’t feel loose or have end play after , should be good to go! Thanks for watching! Cheers

[@jlenz210]

Best tutorial I've ever seen! God Bless you for making videos like this. It's material like this that gives people hope and the confidence to step outside their comfort zone and try a new challenge! Thanks again ❤

[@vuelveatuscarnes7683]

Thank you for this video, my truck needs this job done and had a mechanic take a look and the price was super high. Unfortunately don’t have the money to have the expert do it but feel so confident now after watching your video and I will do it myself. Thank you

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it 🍻

[@MikesMagicGaming]

The guy at auto zone told me that I had everything and I still hear scratching. Come to find out my rotor was wobbling down the road because he didn’t give or mention anything about a back wheel bearing so now brand new breaks and rotors on 2 front wheels are completely done for after a couple days of driving. Thank you for the detailed video will do every step this time.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Oh man well when you get it going , after the main nut is torqued, just make sure there is no play side to side in the rotors before you put the brakes back on. 🍻

[@leondecemento4120]

[@damonedwards6724]

Wow! I really do appreciate you taking the time to do an excellent tutorial of replacing the from brakes pads and rotors.... I am doing this job on my sisters truck and I was hoping it was 4X4 cause it’s a bit easier .... you just take off the caliper bracket to get the rotor off the hub stays on!!! Lol.... not doing a wheel bearing replacement😳!! But it’s kool .... I’m a Chinook Mechanic and it brought back the old days of doing wheel bearings grease jobs on them after water landing when we extract and retrieve Special Ops guys!! Again thanks a lot of your excellent video man!! Take Care!! 😊

[@ke6gwf]

Long time diesel/industrial/jeep mechanic here, and I don't need this video, but I approve of it! Lol I am walking someone through this on the other side of the country, and I needed a good video to walk them through it, and this is perfect, well explained, and very simple to understand. The only thing I would do differently is adding grease on the inner seal land on the spindle (you added it to the seal itself which is just about as good, but I do both so it has complete protection, rust protection as well), and I save the brake clean on the rotor step until it's installed, to get my greasy fingerprints off it lol I would also remove the caliper prior to taking the bracket bolts out, to avoid a dynamic removal of the bracket as seen in the video ;) But that said, if you do this EXACTLY as you show, it works! Thank you.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks I really appreciate it! I change up how I do things all the time, definitely brake clean on the rotors at the end, and I was hoping to pull everything apart at the same time which it just didn’t happen the way I wanted to film it! I think they just fell out of my hands, I do always do pull the piston caliper before the support bracket first! Also I did finally spend the money on a nice bearing packer, definitely beats manual hand packing, some things I would do differently if I Re do this video, thanks for watching! Cheers!

Not how I learned to pack a Wheel bearing. The way he showed seems to work but I was taught to scrape the bearing in the palm of my hand in the grease and force it into the bearings. You also do what he does. There is also a bearing grease gun attachment.
