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.
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
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!!!!

Is it the same for the back
the back won't have a drive shaft to deal with, it should be a little easier.
Have you done a video on the rear?
No I haven't, sorry
Rear is same wheel bearing?
No, the rear won't have the drive shaft. It should be easier to replace than the front one.
This is a much better design. No special tools needed to remove the bearings.
Nope it's straight forward
For the torque - how certain are you that the axle but goes back in at 146 ft/lbs of torque?
I'm not 100%, I got that number from autospecz.com/lincoln/cars/2016/mkz2.0/torque-specs_front.php
Way easier to do than the previous gen mkz.

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.
Good vid .cheers
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Cool video thank you. I’m a DiY guy that really appreciate you.😎
This is cake. Try the first gen Fusion wheel bearings- they’re press in. These ones a toddler could do in an hour.
Thanks
You're welcome
