Nice video. Thank you. My one add is to re-grease the caliper glide pins while the bracket is off the truck.

Using the lug to hold the rotor on is an awesome trick. I've fought with rotors for years and can't believe I never thought about that

Absolutely professional video. Thank you for your instruction. I’ll be buying my parts from your store going forward.

i might be giving this a try tomorrow thanks

Thank you! You do a great job showing everything and explaining it in a way that is easily understood

Thank you for not using air tools

I run a channel fixing Fords and lemme tell you, removing this wheel bearing was worse than removing the transmission out of an 02 explorer.

a good video. I have to replace my rear bearing on the drivers side. Only 66,000 miles. Fixed or Repaired Daily equals FORD

your videos are the reason i buy parts from you....

I also use a little anti-seize between the hub and rotor. I'm in NJ and the heat buildup mixed with snow and salt in the winter makes some rotors a nightmare to get off. So whoever ends up taking rotors off that I installed will thank me. Lol

Very nicely done!

Can we TALK about the face-melting guitar solo!

Tried repairing my 2014 Explorer, driver side front, hub/bearing. Took everything apart, the hub is seized to the knuckle so bad I had to remove the knuckle. The guys at the machine shop couldn't get it out with their 20 ton press.. Pb blaster, air hammer, sledge hammer, slide hammer, nothing worked, am waiting for a new knuckle to finish the repair. believe me, tried everything, no success, so frustrated!!!!! That is what I get for trying to do it myself.

Can you guys do 2015 Ford Explorer Starter replacement video?

Why didn’t you show us how you got the other two 18mm on the right side of the Knuckle the ones that hold the bearing was it hard to get to them?

9:38 That's what SHE said.

That bearing is 2wD rear wheel Ford Explorer 2011 ?

Does the police interceptor Explorer use the same torque as mentioned in this video?

So what makes the wheel bearings go bad? I just had to replace both right and left front on my 2015 explorer.

Hi! Are the bolt hole position the same on all four wheels or are they different on the front/rear, left/right? Planning to order a wheel bearing but its not saying which side of the wheel its for.

Um so my 03 Ford doesn't have a Axle therefore no Axle nut, is there some models that don't need it? I'm replacing the hub and I'm in shock now that I don't see one...

Can the 3 studs be put without taking the whole hub off?

I have 2018 Ford Explorer xlt are all the bolt torque spec the same and if not where can I find

Do you have a video for a 2016 Explorer left front axle?

Aren't those torgue specs a little high

Trying to replace mine on a 2012 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4. Are the front and rear hubs the same? I can’t seem to find any that specifically say rear or front.

Is the 2016 Ford Edge v6 the same?

Noticed you didn't put the two springs back in the caliper. They not needed?

Don’t need to remove the speed sensor on these explorers. Bearing can’t come in contact with it.

If you would have popped the center cap of wheel off and put wheel back on, lower truck to ground, wouldn't have to use that pry bar.

So, I’m sure there is a good reason, but why can’t you use an impact to get the axle nut off?

Umm may have over sold the ease of removing hub. Took over an hour with a hand sledge and a torch.

How about the rear bearings?

This job is not easy, getting the hub out is a nightmare. I have a tip

6:17 There goes the 1 hour job to 8 hour job 😢

If you were stronger brut force would have gotten it

Never that easy

Even knowing the lugs would be replaced i still cringed watching you beat the threads off them with a hammer.
