Done this a million times. But your descriptions are completely spot on . I usually don't work on ford products, but have to do the wife's edge this week. So I looked for a tiny refresher course. Great job on this video. Liked and followed.
Thank you very much friend! I try to be as descriptive as I can be. I’m just trying to help people as much as I can since shops charge an arm and a leg. I don’t mind doing these wheel bearings for the most part unless they’re super rusty and never been done before lol.
Great job, Time consuming and less expensive if you have the tools. I usually bypass the press and just replace the entire knuckle with a brand new assembly complete with bearing, hub and new shield. Only takes short time to replace. Does cost more but much easier with the assembly if you do not have the tools and equipment. Nice Video.
How much are the complete knuckles? I’ve had this shop press for so long I try to get all the use out of it I can. But i totally agree the time wise a complete knuckle replacement is the way to go. Thanks for watching! And thanks for the nice comments
@@T-MillProductions I know this is a year old but I just picked up 2 MOOG knuckles from RockAuto for my wifes 2012 Edge and the complete Knuckle was $260 each. Way easier to replace if you do not mind the extra cost and you get all new hubs, bearing, dust shield, axle nut and clip.
@indyguy5570 really? I’m gonna have to look into that, I didn’t know they even made a complete assembly like that. Thanks for the information tho! I appreciate that!
@@T-MillProductions Yeah, when you search do not look under just the Knuckle. Type in the part search field next to the vehicle once you have selected your year and make for Wheel bearing / Hub/ Knuckle Assembly and you will see options. You can also just type in Wheel Bearing and select it from the drop down list that pops up. Good luck man.
No problem man! I’m glad I was able to help you out! Yea they’re in there pretty good lol, all the years of salt and rust keeps them in there nice and tight
I took the bearing to get pressed in because the rental tools get bent if you try using those lol do you know if the bearing has to go in a certain way for ABS sensor?
Oh did you? I’ll tell you man the harbor freight shop press is wonderful for the money! The bearing is the same either way it goes in. The abs sensor runs off the tone ring on the axle shaft so you can put the bearing in either way. Hope this helps you out!
@@T-MillProductions lifesaver! I asked because they didn’t want to press it for me in case it didn’t work and I told them it uses the cv axle “ring.” It took some convincing. Could be cause I am young and to them, young is clueless. Dad taught me everything I know. Thanks for the reply!
Glad it all worked out for you friend! Hope you get her all fixed up, anytime man! Have a great one! Please subscribe if you found the video or myself helpful please I sure would appreciate it!
I always get nervous going on the ears of the knuckle i had an escape the bearing was stuck like a breeding dog and it snapped the ears right off little tip if you dont have snap ring pliers to get them out i use a little punch like you use to set nails get under it enough to get a screw driver then get a 2nd screwdriver walk it about half way and it will fly out
No kidding ? That had to be a scary scenario. You didn’t get hurt or anything did you? That’s a great tip! Thanks for the input, I’m glad you shared that with us. Years ago I tried a hammer and screw driver and that didn’t work lol
I tried everything to remove that bearing on my 11 Edge. Despite of have ALL TOOLS I need! The press AND the wheel bearing removal kit. Did the job exactly how its supposed to do. The bearing just simply will NOT BUDGE OUT! I then tried to cut the bearing out with the cutting tool. STILL refuses to come off! It's like if some idiot welded or glued the stupid thing in. After spending several hours in hell. I called it quits. (Despite of have ALL tools I need). I'm just going to order the whole knuckle assembly. It's only $95 NEVER EVER seen anything like that with a "welded in" bearing
I’m sorry that happened to you man, I have seen that before on the rear wheel bearings on the old 04 style explorers. We had one at work that we took a torch too and left on the press all weekend and it simply wouldn’t come out no matter what we did. We did the same thing and just ordered a new knuckle for it. Sometimes that’s just the way to go. Are you up here in the salt belt or are you in a salt free climate?
@T-MillProductions our car lived in California all it's life according to carfax. So I guess it does happen, hah. Stuck bearing. I thought I was tripping. 😆
@@T-MillProductions I was just thinking that you had an AWD. I jus did a video on his 2015 a couple months ago.... but figured Ford did the FWD different. The style your doing is just like my Escape's (200 and 2011) though....
@@T-MillProductionsI'm glad it didn't but customers usually don't catch it early enough until the bearing is heat welded to the knuckle, it's worth a try it will be just my luck I'm gonna need a knuckle
@Mrkouman I hope it works out for you too and doesn’t mess it up. Mine all came out just fine over the years thankfully. I did have an explorer once that had it seized in the rear knuckle. If you need any help or advice please feel free to ask me or anyone else on here. I try to promote everyone to help everyone out. Also thank you for watching my video I appreciate the support!
@@T-MillProductions I usually get it out with the press or hub shocker, this car the hubs are wider than any typical press and cannot fit stable unless there's all kinds of adapters used like you did. I just prefer to mount the braces closer to the knuckle than the ears of the knuckle. If all else fails I'll have to use the ears
@Mrkouman oh okay, yea these knuckles aren’t that good of a design. I had to play with it for a while to figure out a way to get it to sit flat and press the old one out. Hopefully yours goes smooth
What do you mean? This is a press in bearing so you have to press the hub into the bearing regardless if you replace it with a new one or not. Do you mean a knuckle? As far as buying a knuckle with the bearing and hub already pre installed?
@Rbenterprises4 I get that, up here in Wi they’re pretty bad too, I’ve actually changed these bearings a few times. Cheap ones off rockauto didn’t last so I got some other ones I’m trying now
would of been nice to let us know there are two different types of wheel Bearings... got all the way put back together watching your video and come to find out the wheel bearing hub is to big for my wheel to set centered ... so now i have to borrow my inlaws vehicle until the autoparts store gets the correct one in... i know its not your fault just would of been nice is all

great video , I have to change the driver side , your video sure will help ! Thanks 👍
I’m glad it was helpful! Good luck with your project sir, thanks for watching!
I used 2x2 wood and 38mm socket to put the bearing in there.
Good idea! I’ll try that next time
amazing video, thank you!
You’re welcome!! Thank you for watching!
Wow, this looks like a BIG project. Respect to you!
It was lol. I was able to make 4 videos out of it. Had to do 3 projects at the same time.
Nice job man! Glad you did this job, really helps out to see it all done from start to finish!
Thank you!
Thanks for the good information. I just wondered how the studs stayed in? Lol. I'm surprised they didn't Pop out.

@fueledbymusic3 wow I’m amazed in California that it would be seized in there like that lol
Curious... is this a FWD or AWD? I did my Brother's 2015 that is AWD, and it's a bearing/hub assemble held in with 4 bolts.
This is AWD, did you do the front or rear?
@@T-MillProductions front. All 4 corners use the same bearing on his too.
I will need to change the title then, apparently my fact checker was incorrect. Thank you for pointing this out!
@@T-MillProductions I was just thinking that you had an AWD. I jus did a video on his 2015 a couple months ago.... but figured Ford did the FWD different. The style your doing is just like my Escape's (200 and 2011) though....
Oh okay, I don’t know why ford does that stupid crap for , why not just have the typical hub bearing with 4 bolts and be done
Can a 6 ton press work?
Honestly I’m not sure, it’s worth a try tho
That was a great video
Thank you for that nice comment!
Im surprised the brake caliper ears didnt bend enough to effect the caliper to brake rotor..
Na that cast is strong and the bearing came right out. If the bearing was seized in the knuckle then that would be a different story
@@T-MillProductionsI'm glad it didn't but customers usually don't catch it early enough until the bearing is heat welded to the knuckle, it's worth a try it will be just my luck I'm gonna need a knuckle

Why not replace the hub and brg assembly instead of all that labor?
What do you mean? This is a press in bearing so you have to press the hub into the bearing regardless if you replace it with a new one or not. Do you mean a knuckle? As far as buying a knuckle with the bearing and hub already pre installed?
OReilly sells the Dorman loaded knuckle and hub assembly, but it is pricey!
I thought about that but honestly I press bearing in so much it’s second nature lol
I understand. In Texas labor rates are pretty pricey, so as a DIY'R I do most of my own work. Nice video! Thanks!
@Rbenterprises4 I get that, up here in Wi they’re pretty bad too, I’ve actually changed these bearings a few times. Cheap ones off rockauto didn’t last so I got some other ones I’m trying now

I didn’t know that actually, so I’m confused, how is the bearing wrong if you ordered it for you specific vehicle?
@@T-MillProductions different part number for allwheel drive, the part number i ordered was 517518 still awaiting the correct one
Interesting, I never knew that myself
