Thank you for the video. If you find that your ABS Lights come on along with the traction control lights and your car is acting slow and not responsive, you left off the Magnetic ABS rings. I just used a long crow bar and applied slow even pressure and it popped right off. When installing it on the new ones, make sure you use a rubber mallet and just tap the outside of the ring at 12, 6, 3, and 9 like on the clock. Otherwise you will damage the inside of the ring and cause uneven wear on the spindle.
The spindle nut calls to be replaced & they're only $3 on rockauto. Also unless you changed that damaged dust cap, you're going to be replacing the bearing again because it'll let moisture in. The ones on my son's car are the same way. Previous owner damaged the caps with a screw driver taking them off. Water got in & the bearings went bad.
Thank you for a vary nice video. I am gathering as much knowledge as possible before I dive into mine. I notice that your assembly is missing one important piece - Wheel Bearing Seal - Ford (1M5Z-1A095-A). It gets pressed into the rear of that integrated hub. It completes the water tight seal when the drum-hub-bearing assembly is installed onto the spindle and meats up with the seal that is on the new pindle. Note: some parts manufacturers offer a more complete drum and bearings assembly that includes the inner bearing seal already pressed in.
Thank you for the replacement video. Hope you had a jack stand doing this. We appreciate these videos from you. We want to keep seeing helpful clips like this from you.
Thanks! Yes I used a Jack Stand. Its visible at 3:37 min in the Video. I also put the Wheel Under the frame just in case. Thanks Again and you are so very right! Always use Safety Equipment and Be VERY Cautious working around Cars on a Jack, Lift or even a Jack Stand
Idk what part you're describing. Are you talking about the actual hub bearing itself? The bearing is supposed to be pressed on with a hydraulic press. I'm not sure that was ever mentioned or used in this video. If it is not pressed on properly, the bearing will fail prematurely.
Do you have abs in the rear? if you do then you need to remove the abs ring from the old drum and put it on the new drums I learned this from watching a youtube video and did not know about this before. if you don't switch over the rings your abs light might go on
Thornton Brothers yea i did too i got it fixed. on mine tho i had to get a new spindle and put it in the bearing before i attached it to the car. also had to adjust the brake pads with a screw driver, wear the pads met in the middle up near the top there was what looked like tiny gear teeth and i had to use a screwdriver to draw in the pads i took it too a shop and they tried to charge me $1060 to do a rear brake job, which it does need new pads. but with the drums and pads and spindle, it should be like $250 plus labor. they tried pulling this shit saying the master cylinder was leaking too (it wasn't). havent priced it but either way fuck that
Is common that problem? I got a 2008 and is really a big headache. On last year a went to repair shop, and these bearings were replaced 3 times (august to september period), buy nowaday the noise is present again. I think to do it by myself but I don't know if is a good option replece the spindle stub shaft (talking about expense) but I'm afraid that the failure gonna show up again.
Hey man, I know your comment is old, but in case you have the same car: I did the same thing as you, and I couldn't figure out why the damn bearing kept screwing up. My problem was two fold, I didn't get the rear end aligned after installing the new bearing and my 'toe' was way out. The wheel was causing the bearing to go bad because it was driving slightly crooked. Also realized that I didn't seal the bearing properly, because I used an old rear wheel cap.
I would think that you will have to torch those nuts off to replace your spindle or, drill them out... Another idea is, grind or cut the corroded nut off & then, the spindle should then easily come off.
+Diego Nicola The bearing melted to the Spindle so I had to replace it. If u can remove the bearing and the Spindle is undamaged then you should not have to replace it. Just clean the spindle and make sure there is no damage Spurs or burrs and its smooth,
replace it. the time is well worth the money you will save. Hey Thornton, i didnt see you put the abs/Grease seal back on the back of that new drum. You might have probs.
+Thornton Brothers mine was stuck, I had to use a puller tool, and couldn't put the new hub assembly back on, had to adjust the adjuster down to slide it on, but thanks for the video
That nut should have been torqued to 170 ft lbs while rotating the wheel in the oppisite direction to obtain proper bearing preload. Not doing that leads to premature bearing failure.

1) That spindle nut is on at 175 ft.lbs., you need an impact. If it comes off by hand, it's even worse than just a bearing. 2) TALK! Tell us what you're doing WHILE you do it. The ONLY piece of info I found helpful was the spindle bolts size & having to move the shock. For THAT I thank you. However, you need practice.
thanks for the video man! I am doing this on my focus next week! Thanks again!

yup every video they do this

Couldn't you use a Drexel tool with a cut off wheel to cut the inner race off the spindle? Or use a grinder, or a inner race removal tool???
does the spindle shaft with abs hole fit on focus that does not have abs

Did you torque the spindle nut??
How hard was it to remove the spindle bolts? I just picked up a breaker bar and deep sockets. Will do it soon as soon as the parts get here.
Do u need to grease the spindle
What was involved with moving the shock out of the way? I am right where you are at where I have to remove the spindle and replace it.
+RDMF Jones I had to move the shock out of the way to get to the spindle bolts. Just one large bolt holding Shock in place.
You are missing the inner a piece that presses into the rear of that hub and creates a seal with rubber ring on the axle shaft.
Actually it was included with the new spindle. Pre-installed.
Idk what part you're describing. Are you talking about the actual hub bearing itself? The bearing is supposed to be pressed on with a hydraulic press. I'm not sure that was ever mentioned or used in this video. If it is not pressed on properly, the bearing will fail prematurely.

ABS was on rear disc brake not drum brake.
@@btd2516 drum has abs too 04 and up ses and certain models i guess
@@btd2516false
my question is will that hub in the middle come out so i dont have to replace the whole drum?
David T. No I don't Think so. I only needed to change the Bearing and had to replace the drum with Bearing on it.
Thornton Brothers yea i did too i got it fixed. on mine tho i had to get a new spindle and put it in the bearing before i attached it to the car. also had to adjust the brake pads with a screw driver, wear the pads met in the middle up near the top there was what looked like tiny gear teeth and i had to use a screwdriver to draw in the pads
i took it too a shop and they tried to charge me $1060 to do a rear brake job, which it does need new pads. but with the drums and pads and spindle, it should be like $250 plus labor. they tried pulling this shit saying the master cylinder was leaking too (it wasn't). havent priced it but either way fuck that
ok..so ur abs lite came on after rite..or did u get a drum with abs ring in it?...
SlayerHawkX I dont think this model had ABS. That may only apply to the front brakes.
Yep just found out mine don't have ABS ring either and it's a 2007 SE only SES
when you fitted the new dum did you apply any grease or anything to the spindle? ive gotta do mine and i dont know whether i need some grease or not

It is probably improper installation procedure or torque. It is the main reason for bearings failure.
@@MrGigi-dz9cv yes i would stop taking it to that shop. They probably just use the impact to run down that slindle nut
It's good to rotate the drum as you're Torqing down the nut, And replacing the axle nut with a new one
The breaker bar is rustier than the brake drum lol.. great video though
How do you get the 4 13 mm bolts out??? Mine are corroded I tried using heat and they still won't come loose
I would think that you will have to torch those nuts off to replace your spindle or, drill them out... Another idea is, grind or cut the corroded nut off & then, the spindle should then easily come off.
Where do you get replacement bolts for the spindle?
@@dawnfallon6812 Hard to find them online and auto stores near me. IDK
No one shows the grease packing, do they not require it?
Bearings are a sealed unit.
Do I need to replace the spindle too? or Why did you do it?
+Diego Nicola The bearing melted to the Spindle so I had to replace it. If u can remove the bearing and the Spindle is undamaged then you should not have to replace it. Just clean the spindle and make sure there is no damage Spurs or burrs and its smooth,
+Thornton Brothers k
replace it. the time is well worth the money you will save.
Hey Thornton, i didnt see you put the abs/Grease seal back on the back of that new drum. You might have probs.
I believe it was already installed on the new spindle.
You could have tried a Dremel tool and a cold chisil to remove the race
did you use a tool to remove the drum?
No it should slide right off. My bearings were damaged so it took some wiggling to get off.
+Thornton Brothers
mine was stuck, I had to use a puller tool, and couldn't put the new hub assembly back on, had to adjust the adjuster down to slide it on, but thanks for the video
@@warriorpatriotcl dealing with the same issue! About to rent a puller tool… I really hope this works
That nut should have been torqued to 170 ft lbs while rotating the wheel in the oppisite direction to obtain proper bearing preload. Not doing that leads to premature bearing failure.
That Drum should be torqued while spinning the drum the opposite direction of torquing. The spindle should have been properly torqued also.
For anyone wondering: yes, you need to grease your bearings. Why he didn't show this step, I don't know. Nevertheless, ALWAYS GREASE YOUR BEARINGS!!!
They are sealed bearings
Oppisite direction of torquing
I don't see a jack stand...do you have one? I knew a guy who didn't use one. He's been dead for over 20 years...cars aren't very forgiving.

That has got be one of the worst info videos I have ever seen
