    You're a natural presenter mate. Calm, clear, smooth and easy going. Fine speaking voice and accent too. Excellent tradecraft because you'd thought it all out in advance and spoken to professionals for confirmation. I've done that job at least ten times myself and was going to oversee one of my nephews do the same job on his BA ute. No need. Your tute makes it all come alive for even the least experienced backyarder. Bloody well done son !

      Absolute legend mate cheers!! To be honest out of anxiety and stress, making UA-cam videos for the internet has been my excuse to practice public speaking, stringing sentences together and overcoming nerves. Definitely have come a long way compared to my earliest videos, so I look forward to more content that not only will help others but means I get to do what I love that is DIY on cars. Glad I could help you avoid needing to oversee the nephew at work, what a humbling compliment you think my vid can help out sufficiently!

But instead of taking the abs sensor out to be able to get the bearing puller behind the casing, I just lightly clamped down on the little grove where the ball bearings roll and that was enough to get it moving.

    Hi thanks for the complete video of the job. Here my question might not be direct to this job, but I'm confused about my Ford Falcon 2003 Wagon rear wheel hub & bearing assembly, if this car is fitted with independent rear suspension, but I don't know how to check that. One guys advised me to replace this Falcon REAR wheel hub and bearing assembly, he said the parts would come together with axel as a whole replacement. Could you advise, I would be appreciated?

    • @FordMercGuy

    Great mate 👍🏻 I went camping on some dusty and corrugated roads at Easter and think it has started a noise in my wheel bearing at front . Just had trans done and thought it was something with that but I can slightly feel the vibration in steering wheel . I will jack the car on both sides and spin the wheels to listen for noise . What else can I do to detect dodgy wheel bearing ?

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  2 роки тому

      I'm no mechanic but I've seen some tests such as When in the air, see if you can feel any clunking/moving when you grip at 3 and 9 o'clock and pulling in opposite directions, and 12 and 6 o'clock. Feeling for any play might indicate a bit of a bad bearing.
      Or when driving and pitching hard left to right, if the bearing noise gets louder on the side when the car weight leans on that side bearing, that can be another sign.

    I just had a left front wheel bearing and hub done by my mechanic , he charged $170 .
    For a few weeks I was hearing a humming noise, then bang, the ball joint failed and the body of the car was sitting on top of the tyre .
    I just replaced both the front lower rear control arm and ball joint assemblies myself .
    This is on a 2008 Territory Ghia Rwd.
    Both control arms and fleet wheel hub and bearing were fitted by my mechanic in Feb 2021 only lasted 23000klm.
    Pretty sure he got them from Repco .
    Personally I can't think of a reason why they should fail so quickly apart from everything being tightened by rattle gun and not being correctly torqued to specs.
    I hardy did any long distance , rough road or anything else I can think of to damage these parts .
    Just to let all the Territory people know I bought the latest control arms from Gary Walker , they have a grease nipple in the Ball joint.
    Cost $175 each, hopefully these last .
    Good video and I'm a retired Carpenter , not really into DIY car stuff , but after the Ball joint failed, couldn't get it towed , wheel wasn't connected, did it myself on the side of the road.
    Clear concise video , enjoyed watching it.

      @FordMercGuy  Рік тому

      Thank you mate yes the ball joint certainly our Achilles heel of these cars. I read all the time on Facebook forums that New ball joints last about 20,000 km before failing. Perhaps brand quality plays a big part in longevity.

    definitely will need to tighten the hub nut again they require 255nm of torque if i remember correct, in the video you might of been lucky to have gotten 150nm by pulling with that breaker bar and its quite important to preload these bearings with the recommended torque or they wont last

    I've got some semi slicks on the front of my car i thought they were making road noise drove from Sydney to Melbourne got some new normal tyres and the noise was still there! Wow cant believe it lasted the whole way!! Will the last when they are broken and just be noisy? I have fixed it as per your vid but just wondering because a friends one sounds like its doing the same.
    Great vid and content by the way very informative I've looked at some of your vids before to do some work on my Typhoon, and you can be a cunny funt too haha thanks again!

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  2 роки тому +1

      I'm not a mechanic but feom what I understand.. A failed wheel bearing can cause a wheel to break away from the wheel bearing/hub assembly essentially falling off the car. I guess a noisy wheel bearing is the beginning of a bearing starting to fail.
      More noise means more wear on the bearing.
      Thanks so much mate, really appreciate your time in watching and compliments. Hahah yeah, always trying to channel my inner Rich rebuilds vibes. All the best brother. And keep preventively servicing 👊👊

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  5 місяців тому

      Its tough to say mate. I just went for full removal of the old hub + that remainder part that was stuck on the shaft and replaced with the new as in this video. Checked your power steering fluid? If too low top up. Sometimes low fluid could make vibration if air has been sucked into the system.
      Otherwise might be worth jacking up and turning the wheels and seeing if you can hear the noise with wheel spinning

    • @FordMercGuy

      Hi mate jacked up with wheel on, if you can get movement play, that will lead towards having a bad bearing in my experience yes.
      Also driving and turning sharp left and right a few times while maintaining speed while driving down a straight road.. The bearing noise will show up when the car is leaning on the side with the bad bearing.
