You are absolutely, hands down, my favourite TH-cam mechanic. You don't leave critical information out of your video and you don't ramble just to talk. Thanks for being so informative and easy to watch / listen too. I have already performed 6 repairs in the last month on my 2006 Ford Escape that just turned over 187,500 miles. Everything has gone smoothly. A few times, I had my phone handy so I could re-watch portions of your videos while doing the work. Please, keep them coming :-)
Dude , I have watched almost all of your videos and I thank god for you. The way you explain everything makes you a head and shoulders above most on the internet, and the world. Fist bump for taking the time to help us normal folk
You are amazing!!! I have followed your videos to successfully do repairs on my 2011 Ford Escape for the past 3 years. You have been right on things that mechanics who are physically looking at my car do not diagnose properly. You have made repairs doable for someone who isn not even mechanically inclined, and some that I would not have afforded the expensive shop prices in my area, to have had fixed. As a woman, I am now more confident in speaking with local mechanics because of your videos. You're a brilliant mechanic who is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!!
Before watching your MOST EXCELLENT video, I wasted almost 30 minutes of my life on another TH-cam video, for the same repair. You always make the BEST videos. Please don't stop making your ASTONISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND QUALITY videos.
Bought my 2011 escape and little did i know this was a common problem thanks to your video, I the mechanic novice got it going again been a week with no leaks. Tools I used where OEM Pilot Bearing Puller and slide hammer from Oreilly's and the Adjustable Bearing Race and Seal Driver from Autozone. Thanks Again!!
Did U rent those 2 tools, did U have to buy them?
Thank you for actually providing an easy to follow, step by step with actual clear video of each step.
I had trouble to push the cv axle in until I found your video! It's so helpful! Thank you so much!!
That was an excellent video....we appreciate you making these, they are very helpful.
The only suggestion I have is when loosening or tightening a nut bolt combination hold the bolt and turn the nut. That give the least resistance and a greatly reduced chance of breaking a bolt.
In torquing it provides a much more accurate torque because the shaft of the bolt friction gives false torque readings.
A old Machinist taught me that 10,000,000 years ago.
ANOTHER GREAT VID BRIAN THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP.
Thanks for the video, replaced the CV axle and the seal on my 11 Escape. When I asked the dealer if I could borrow the bushing remover tool they looked at me like I had a certain something growing from my forehead
Excellent teacher! Fantastic communicator.
FWIW, although the WSM says to drain the trans you don't need to. During the process you only lose a minimal amount of fluid. Once done just a little top off is needed. Saves time and fluid.
I have been waiting for this set of instructions since the fusion video. Much appreciated, thanks for taking the time.
ManicMechanic007 I know, this job was sold February 3rd of this year and it finally came in.
Excellent video! Your videos are always very helpful
Man another great Video! You are the MAN!!! I went down to my buddies shop put my escape on the lift during oil change and found out my seal is leaking on mine! So I guess I have to take mine to get fixed.
Top notch video. Thanks so much! You covered everything you need to complete this repair, expect, my only question - how many hours of labour would you charge to do this job in a shop?
I really appreciate you making this video. Great job!
I have exactly the same problem same transmission with my 2012 fusion. thank you for your detailed video. I am missing the special tool for the bushing. I am going to see if I can find a special tool Bushing Cutter that does not damage the case.
Thanks Brian maybe I can diagnosis my problem myself. . you do great work.. video's too.. Thanks Brother
Muy buen video muy claro y entendible muchas gracias por tomar el tiempo para hacer este manifico video para lo que no sabemos que hacer gracias
FordTecMakuloco yes I inspected the shaft for scratches ans groves and it looked good but I didn't use a ford seal.
Thank you for taking the time on this video. Just did the exact job and it was easy thanks to your video
I just did this job on my Escape. I purchased this Blind Hole 10pc Slide Hammer Pilot Bearing Puller Internal Extractor Removal Kit from amazon but the largest puller is not big enough. Luckily I could machine the collet to allow it to expand a little further. Also I machined a bushing installer and if you don't have a lathe a local machine shop could do this for you.
Excellent info as usual, thanks man and thumbs UP
Gracias por el video. Este es uno de los mejores trabajos realizados.
Just did this on a 2009, hardest part was removing the old bushing, I didn't have a puller large enough so I used a mini sawzall and cut a notch in the old bushing. After that this is a very easy job
Great vids Brian. I have an 06 escape cd4e trans . I have replaced the seals twice. The Ford brand seal was definitely better than t&#ken seal. I have slop up and down where the axle meets the trans.. You have said this is normal. My car has a high speed shimmy. the tires look good and I have had the tires balanced. The problem still exists. I was wondering if the old bushing is causing this?
Well done and easy to follow.
Hey buddy thanks for all the 2001 Ford Escape help NYC usar
The blind hole puller set #27128 from Autozone will work, the largest size puller says it goes to 1 1/4' but it will extend a little further than that and will fit the bushing which is about an 1 3/8". I used the Bearing Race and Seal Driver set #67034 from O'Reillys to install the new bushing and the seal. Both tools can be rented for free.
+William Murphy FREE! Awesome great info thanks for sharing.
Thanks..!!
How did you figure the depth for the new bushing?
@@SimonKlit Its been a while now, I can't remember if there was a stop for the bushing or if I just set it flush with the case. The video may show it.
@@mugga5590 thank you for your reply! That’s good enough, I’ll give it a whirl. Did yours start leaking again?
grasias por toda esa informacion pon videos en los cuales podramos aprender a leer los diagramas
Excellent work, as usual!!
Hello i would like to thank the Ford Tech Makuloco for the great video on replacing the left seal , bushing & stub shaft on my 2010 ford escape . I got a quote from a local repair shop in our town and he quoted me $3500 , so i took it to a Ford dealer repair shop in Vernon BC and the tatal bill was less than $ 700 parts and labour . I asked the service manager if he had seen your video and he said he had . some times it is way better to go back to a service shop , that sells your make of vehicle. Great video and very knowledgable mechanic. Thanks for saving me close to $3000 dollars .George Bubuik
Has it still been good for you? I have an '11 and they quoted me about $650 or so from one and $800-$1,100 from another shop... Ive heard it can start leaking again after fix...
Who da man? FordTechMakuloco's da man!!!
EXCELLENT video (as usual)!!! I do have a question. I just changed the left front wheel bearing on my daughters 2009 Escape. I got the knuckle assembled onto the lower ball joint and then the rain started (having to work outside sucks). So, while everything is basically still disassembled it seems it would be a good time to proactively install the bearing, seal and stub shaft kit. The question is, does the 2009 still require the kit, or was the inboard shaft micro-finish problem fixed at the factory level in 2009? Thank you again for doing ALL you videos!! You are the best at this!!!!!
Hey man great video! Very helpful thank you!
Looks straight foreword. Other than the fluid leak, is there any other symptons of a bad bushing ? Grinding, steering pulsation on acceration, etc ??
awesome vid ! i was very impressed you even gave all the torque spec's of each sized nuts and bolt to reassemble. alot of people forget or just don't go as far into detail. keep up the awesome vids.
MyPuppers I figure it helps to see what tools and sizes will be needed many don't have the expansive collection like I do just laying around.
Great help at least helping understand the process ,the tools are needed to keep from damaging parts .thanks
Very good communicator.
2005 2wd 6cyl Thanks for the response
Are there any major differences between the 2009-2012 Escapes and the 2013-present Escapes? Gonna start the repair tomorrow and want to make sure I know what to do (steps/sockets/etc). Thanks!
I have an 05 Mariner 4WD and I think the LH shaft seal is leaking from what I can tell. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm taking it in to get looked at tomorrow, thanks for the informative video. This gives me an idea of what the cost might be.....
You have helped my mechanic when WE both were baffled! Beware of those lugnuts they swell!!!! if scratched
Great explanation congratulation my friend you are a professor.
You mentioned Mercon lv, I have an '04 mazda tribute lx 3.0 and will change the xmission fluid. Do you recommend Mercon v fluid, thanks and love your helpful videos.
Thank you so much for within review I just watched your video And fix my SUV thank you
Do you have part number for bushing and seal I want a new axle and not have to put together
Thank you! This is very helpful! Where can I find the tools? Thank you.
Excellent video, thanks!
My escape has a concentric bolt to do wheel alignment (top only) when I replaced my wheel bearing and needed an alignnment did the 2008+ change the design to no longer need these?
First off, Thank you for the video. My 2010 FWD Escape is ready for surgery! When I call up the TX 682 part, I'm told "this part Does Not fit my vehicle. It then refers me to TX 585. Can you tell me what the difference is and why, if you are using the 682, why I can't. I want to be sure before I order. Thanks again!
I have a 2005 Mercury Mariner V6 4WD that I believe has this issue. Is a similar kit available for it or would it be the same one?
good info very clean tech
I had this problem last week. Was experiencing rough shifting so I checked fluid level. To my surprise it was low. I figured I'd just change the transmission fluid but when I got under there I noticed the leak. I took it to Robin Ford in Glenolden, Pa since it is still under warranty. When I picked it up I again noticed some hard shifting. Checked the fluid and it was overfilled. Also noticed the hood prop was not placed back in its holder (the little things). I looked under the trans and sure enough, they did not change the Stub Shaft. I can't be sure because I can't check it. but I bet they didn't replace the bushing either, and I'd bet my paycheck they didn't wipe out the old grease and replace it. What can I do in this situation other than go back and complain?, Maybe they will replace the Stub Shaft, but I'm sure these slobs won't replace the bearing.
I am now noticing slow cranking since picking it up. Coincidence?? How can I trust these guys? I checked battery voltage after she sat overnight and it read under 11V. I started it up, getting even slower crank, and I am getting 14.6 V. Took the battery out to put it on charge and it went to full charge in a couple of minutes. Took it off charge and it read 12.6V. What would cause the battery to read low voltage when in the car with nothing on?
To top it off it's Thanksgiving day and I can't go there and choke anyone.
Great clip keep up the good work. Just wanted to know if we were to change the bushing on the right side with same part # as the left side would it be safe or worth doing it if we didn't change the stub shaft.
JPJMotorsports I think the rh side is only changed by splitting the case either way the rh side bushing is never a problem and shouldn't be changed.
I just tried installing this kit on my 2010 and ran into some issues since I live in the rust belt. No matter what tool I threw at it, that cv axle would not separate from the hub. Air hammer, bfg, 3 jaw puller and even map gas torch didn't work. I disconnected the tie rod end and separated and assembled the transaxle side cv with the axle still in the hub...it sucked.
Excellent guide.
TH-cam greatest tech!
AWESOME AND THANK YOU!
FordTechMakuloco - Love your videos. Very clear and helpful!
With the Covid-19 I have extra time on my hands so trying to do this repair. Running into a challence removing the axle from the transmission housing. In neutral, and I've rotated it a few times. Cannot seem to remove it. I don't want to force it and potentially cause internal damage or external damage to the housing. Anything else I can check or try?
For anyone else having this same problem, I finally got it. Just kept rotating and prying. It did NOT come out as easily as in this video! I had to really bang on it a few times! Looking in carefully, no internal damage visible nor any cracks to the housing. So just be ready to possibly have to really work at it.
Great work , Thanks .
i have ford escape 2010 3.0l awd is a good truck or is beter change for a new one i fix a lot lot a part whit your help and video
The escapes have always been great vehicles until the 2013 and newer models came around.
Hi will this be the same work for 2013 Ford Taurus police interceptor the only thing I am worry is about the oil spill
Is the bushing puller tool the same for the CD4E transmission? If yes , what are the Ford tool part numbers for puller and installer?
Will this part also work on the 2010 ford escape 2.5 xlt awd
How long should this seal normally last? I have about 92,000mi., should I expect this fail at this mileage, or is it likely due to the faulty design you mentioned? I have a 2010 Ford Fusion and this is slowly leaking fluid...noticed a few spots under the car and it looks as if that's where it's coming from.
Is this issue present in the hybrid transmissions as well? Have a 2013.
Great Info......this is a known issue with the ford escape...having mine done today...fortunately I purchased the extended plan, currently at 73,000 miles and noticed the leak......dealership wanted 1300.00 to fix it but only had to pay 50.00 co-pay...Ford needs to get it together...been a ford guy my whole life but I have to say I am going to give my business to another manufacturer.....every ford I have had goes sour around the 75,000 mile to 5 year period like clock work and when dealing with the dealership they treat you like they owe you money and kind of shruge you off....I'm in sales and I know it to be a fact that the salesman sales you the first one but customer services sales you the next on and the dealerships for Ford simply put.................suck after you make a purchase.....Just saying
Awesome job!!!
Thanks mate!
great video Brain,.
FordTecMaculoco thank you for the reply and I did clean the surface. The shaft did not seam grooved but the seal wasn't a ford seal. I had my car on the hoist today and Im thinking there is excessive slop in the shaft and bushing. I can push it up and down and you can hear a clunk. Im not talking in and out. It looks like a repair sleeve is sold for my model but that real sucks if the whole trans needs pulled to do it. Would I be better off with a remanufactured Trans if thats the case?
Yes if you push up and down there will be slop. Few things make sure you install a Ford seal and be sure the garter spring stays in place after the replacement.
Is this the same application for front wheel drive manual transmission? I have a 2010 escape 4cyl fwd manual transmission. So far the process looks the same. Obviously the transmission fluid will be different. But just wondering if the process is the same? Thanks in advance. Love your videos!!
What is the purpose of that silver collar that’s left on the half shaft inner side? Is that just a dust cover for the inner seal? It seems to just sit on there. About to do a reassemble on my same escape, but not sure if that silver collar just rides there or something.
Great detailed video! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Can you tell me if Canadian Ford Escape 2010 4 cylinders as the same transmission? Is the kit the same?
Gerard
gerard dussault I am sure they are yes.
I noticed the tools in the description to be borrowed from the dealer. Do you have a list of the tools needed for removal of the other parts or are they all common. Thanks.
Buena noches desde Rep.Dom.un cordial saludo le agradezco mucho por ese el modo vídeos
Donde puedo comprar la herramienta que uso para poner la retenedora y el coji o caquillo de bronces y que número es esa retenedora para una Ford escapé 2008 motor 2.4
great work.
I have this problem on a 2011 Escape. will this video cover that? I cannot find what car you're working on. thanks
Awesome video. I'm stuck though, I can't get the original shaft out of the transmission. Tried to pry it like crazy, to the point where I was worried about damaging the case. Any tips? I'm jacking from the ground, makes everything harder.
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem and don't want to risk internal damage or cracking the transmission case by prying too hard. I've followed the video advice to turn the axle a few times to hopefully release the clip inside, but no help.
Just got my 2014 Ford Escape back from the dealer and they said I need a new bushing and seal and also an entire new axel. Do you think they were saying to replace the axel just to be safe? It's the most expensive part and I don't want to replace it if it doesn't really need to... Have you replaced any axels? If so, what goes bad with them?
What did you use to take out the sleeve/bushing??? What kind of puller??
I have a 2013 escape that is leaking trans fluid from the axle seal. Is this kit available for my car and if so what would be the part number? Thank you for any help
I have a 2007 escape 2.3L 4cyl. :
I was wondering if its the bushing and seal if I can move the axle up/down while its sitting in the trans. Of course its when I remove the suspension and brake from axle. Someone told me its the transmission, but now viewing this video im thinking its the bushing and seal.
Is it worth putting a remanifactured 6f35 transmission in a 2011 Ford Fusion, it is having shifting problems.
What's the bar you are using with the bearing and seal installers. Is that something we could borrow from the dealer as well?
Hi I bought Bushing Remover- 308-070 and it seems to be too small and there is nothing to expand the claws. Also the one you used looks different. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi is that bushing also called a PTU seal
Great video and excellent filming!
Hope you can help me. I have the famous 2014 escape 1.6L 2wd Titanium with a Bad Transmission. What other Vehicles have the same Transmission ? Thanks either way. Joe
Does the cv axle tx559 have the corrected issue? Also could you send the correct part number for just the, seal and bushing if I get a new cv axle for LH?
Funciona también para transmisión standard??
Do you leave the vehicle in neutral or does the half shaft spin even when it's in park?
Nice, very helpful thanks 👍
I’m having what seems to be the exact same issue on my 2013 Escape but the axel part numbers and all looks like they changed in 2013. Would you happen to know if this same kit would work or if there’s another kit for the 2013-???? whatever year till they changed again?
Is this a common recurring problem for Ford Escape? Just purchased a 2012 Ford Escape last week FWD only 30k miles..Had to tow it today. Bc transmission fluid was leaking real bad from the front axle. Found the previous owner had this axle seal replaced less than a month ago. And today its back in the shop same problem.You think I just got a bad seal? or is this a often a chronic problem ??
FordTechMakuLoco - I have the CD4E 08 Escape. I believe my seal is leaking. Is this common on my model? Is there a kit?
@ FordTechMakuloco the red/orange coating on the inside of the new bushing I purchased has a scabby finish. Is this likely going to marr up the new half shaft and cause the leak to return?
any word on the leak returning? heard thats a very common issue
