How to Replace Rear Wheel Bearings / Half Shaft Bearings (Ford Capri / Escort) | Tech Tip 33

Replacing rear wheel bearings on vehicles with solid rear axles using basic tools - it's not the easiest process but with care and attention it can be done. I'll be going through the entire process in this video - from removing the halfshafts out of the rear axle, to cutting off the old bearings and collars, to pressing the new bearings into place, it's all here in detail. Rear halfshaft bearings can fail for a number of reasons, either the bearing itself goes bad causing play in the rear wheel & a deep rumbling when driving, or the oil seals fail meaning you end up with gear oil leaking into the rear drum brake assembly. In either case the bearings will need to be replaced.
The car in the video is my 1978 Ford Capri running a Modified 2.0 Pinto Engine. If Classic Cars are your thing, check out this playlist. Maintenance, Tech Tips, Track Days, it's all here:
