I just used your video to do a wheel bearing myself. no air hammer, no air tools, only hand tools and breaker bars. Got it done in a weekend. The new bearing sounds smooth. Thanks for your video.
had to post, great video. things like this really make the internet a beast, how to videos are a big help.
Great video - very nice description as you go, and I love the way you speed up the repetitive actions; some videos wear you out by watching somebody operate a ratchet wrench for 2 minutes at a time...
Thanks for watching. Here is a link to the part used in the video on our website.

Yes I agree. It takes a long extension on that top 15mm bearing bolt, but those of us who do not have access to air tools and a full garage would most likely find it much easier to remove that tricky bolt with the shaft in place than to remove the entire shaft.
@Triple7Grinder Depends on your vehicle. This is a corroded car from the Northeast salt belt, a hammer and punch or screwdriver is possible but would have taken forever. A car from the south will probably come apart a LOT easier.
Mine took about 11 hours of air hammering, grinding with a grinder & hitting with a 4 pound hammer to finally break it free. If your having trouble getting to the top bolt put a jack underneath the ball joint & jack it up level with the drive shaft then push drive shaft in a little it will give you just enough room to get a 15mm socket in there with an extension. Spray PB Blaster on the bolts. If you take off the lower ball joint you can remove the drive shaft then easily access the 3 bolts holding wheel bearing in. I used a pickle fork to break ball joint loose then a digging bar to get it out of its slot. Spray PB blaster on everything to make things a lot easier to remove & re assembly!
Wish I read this an hour ago lol,
You could try to use a pry bar to see if it would give you a little more clearance.
I’d like to point out that the oem strut on this generation of Taurus is 1-2 inches longer than the one in the video. That should have been stated but it’s not-trust me as I watched this and then went through Hell getting the motorcraft strut out of the knuckle/back into it. I had to compress the underside of the strut and then hammer down the knuckle. To get it back on once the wheel bearing was installed required removing the lower ball joint. It is Much more difficult than this video shows.
If it's very rounded off, you might need to get an extractor socket to remove it. They sell them on Harbor Freight com or you should be able to find them at your local Craftsman or parts store. Hope this helps you out.
@BGChamp2019 Yes, usually one quick sharp blow will loosen it up. You just don't want to mushroom the end of the axle by striking it to many times.
For people having problems getting the strut low enough to release knuckle to get cv out just release balljoint, way easier then loosening strut and remove bottom of knuckle to release CV
Clap! Clap! Clap! then a standing ovation.
The crankshaft bearing is part of the engine and would be related to engine speed instead of vehicle speed. If you are unsure of exactly what the issue is, you should take your vehicle some place for a safety inspection. Most good shops will do this for free.
Usually they'll make a humming noise, they may grind a little bit too.
For me the strut didn't come out the hole until i beat with a sledgehammer as i got mad lol. I had a hammer like his and she wouldn't come on out. Just beat downward on the knuckle until she comes up to where you can do the rest by separating it with two hands. Don't make the mistake i made and pry on the strut bolt metal strip along the side even though it is right there to pry on because it will break right off.
I use an electric impact and it makes things easier. I am doing this on a 1997 Taurus SHO. The SHO has different struts that are semi active ride control struts. I thought I was going to have to remove the lower ball joint in order for the steering knuckle/spindle to swing down far enough to remove the axle in order to gain access to that top hub retainer bolt. I don't understand why you would remove the entire axle unless you are replacing that axle, as there is no need to remove the axle completely just to change a wheel bearing hub assembly on this car. Another thing I don't understand is why didn't you remove the brake caliper, bracket and rotor first, seems a little backwards to me but whatever works I guess.
@PeterObi It sounds like you may be referring to the steering knuckle.
@TommyProCam Yes this process is the same for a 2000 Lincoln Continental. We carry them on our website 1aauto.com with free shipping, this video will show you exactly how to install our product into your vehicle.
When this vid was done it was 10 minutes. I've noted your video requests. What year Venture?
My 01 SE had 29mm nut on axle instead of a 30mm. In order to compress the strut spring, I had to lower it, compress it, then bolt back up. Only then could I get the strut out. Other than that, your video was right on target.
@SuperMjans We currently don't have a video that shows this particular auto repair. If you have a Chilton's or a Haynes manual they would show you how to repair that bearing. We sell the Haynes manuals on our website 1aauto.com
@Chriscasey84 It sounds like you're referring to the stabilizer bar. Hope this helps you out.
@BGChamp2019 Any decent impact gun should make it easier to get the nut off for you. Hope this helps you out.
If you follow the same procedure that we show in the video you should be able to make this repair fairly easily. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Helpful video. Thanks. 2 things, though. You consistently call nuts, bolts. And you beat on the threaded ends of bolts with a hammer, thus potentially damaging the threads. Instead, put the nut back on a few turns and hit that to dislodge the bolt. This tip protects the threads.
+norm m. Thanks for the feedback!
13 years that very very old way of taking off. They have a breaker bar now. But it studs slam that middle peace until it comes off.
Why is this a 2 part upload ? I thought the limit for uploads is 30 minutes . I hope you get a chance to show 2 things 1 is changing plugs on chevy venture and the resistor that controls the heater ac fan.
Thanks
I've replaced these hub assemblies without removing the spindle
Right all that s*** was unnecessary
how so?
@@tomuschrysos extension for the top bolt on hub
Yeah if it doesn't have ABS 🙄. If it does , your not getting past the tone ring .
What size bolts on the hub? For the wheel bearing mount? The three holes?? Size and length please
Technically u just had to separate the the lower control arm from the lower ball joint. U guys cut scene having to remove the outer tie rod. I had to do the same. But next time I'll do the other way.
Helped me out thanks.
i had the same problum on the 99 im fixing, we would jack up and compress the strut and spring. thin shuf a bar in it from under the hood theres a hole to keep it compressed nd we had to sacrafice a heavy duty vice clamp on getting the old one out lol
i have a 97 taurus sho and i cant get the strut out of the knuckle, the control arm just wont go low enough, any suggestions?
Imformative video. My question is do you have to loose the brake hub from the strut to loose the spindle(cv)?
I have had the same problem relacing the bearing/hub assmbly on my car.
Save some time and just remove the lower ball joint from the lower control arm and also take the caliper and caliper bracket off in one piece.
Dmax04 I think it was done purposely to discourage D.I.Y.
@blewpaint We do have a video for this application located here. We also carry these parts on our website 1aauto.com
th-cam.com/video/bF4ZUPhaWCI/w-d-xo.html&feature=player_embedded (copy and paste into browse).
Why did this require removing the axle completely and disconnecting the strut and everything? Reason I ask is right now I have my Taurus lifted, the 3 bolts for the hub removed, the caliper/bracket removed, spindle nut removed, and the bearing absolutely will not come free. I have no concerns about the axle itself, I just want to replace the bearing, and it seems like it should just slide off the end of the axle, but I can't get it to budge.
We had to beat ours off - it was challenging to say the least, and we did it without removing the cv axle - it just took patience and perseverance to get to the top nut.
If you leave the strut or shock attached you can use this tool to remove the hub......Hub Shocker Hub Buster
Not sure if you can remove the hub's top bolt without removing the strut.
Other videos show how to do this without removing the strut.
I'm going to do this job on my 2003 Taurus. I bought the parts from 1A Auto.
+Froman Abe Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Do you have a video covering ford Taurus rear wheel hub removal with drum brakes? having a hard time finding one. any information helps. thanks in advance.
I know this comes a bit too late, but for anyone else running into this issue, you have to lower the subframe to gain additional room for the control arm. It's pretty straight forward; loosen the two subframe bolts (almost all the way) and you place your jack on the subframe and lower it a bit until you have enough clearance. Then just hammer away at the knuckle. Good luck!
Have you ever changed the bearings on a 2000 Lincoln Continental? Is it pretty much the same thing?
If should be a fairly similar process. We sell hubs for your Taurus on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I keep hearing the little birdy inner voice say it's a crankshaft bearing. Is that wrong? What's the difference between wheel bearing and crankshaft bearing? I had the wheel bearing replaced once, and the rumbling vibrating in the right front wheel didn't shift. I keep thinking it's now bearing plus tie rod, once that corner took a deer pretty bad, but which bearing now...
On my Taurus wagon the bolt at 3:19 is rounded off a bit from using SAE size socket instead of the metric (why the heck does a US built car have metric bolts?) How should I approach getting the darn thing off?
What indications were there that the hub needed replacing in the first place?
Whole lot harder to do this on a Taurus than my Malibu
@1aauto At 4:44, what do you mean by saying, "give it a big wrap and it loosens right up"? Are you saying that you have to hit the Axle shaft with a hammer or something to loosen it up before pulling the shaft complety out of the steering knuckle?
i have a 1994 taurus that needs a front passanger side wheel bearing, are the steps the same
Man you made that so much harder than it really have to be bro I got to do is undo the top strut and undo the tie rod unbolt axle nut slide axle back a little bit get a wobbly socklet in there and do it like that but whatever floats your boat too much work
+Josh Scott Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
Seems a little extreme don't you think? I mean you don't need to do everything you did. Three 10mm bolts on the back side of the hub, remove it and replace it. No need to take apart the entire front drive shaft and all of the other nonsense you did.
I don't want to take apart the tie rod, strut, and axle😥
@A1Auto I just changed the the right front wheel bearing in my wifes 2001 ford Taurus.. she's telling me that it's making a squeaky/squealing noise when she turns to the right.. the brake caliper did seem a little tight when I took it apart like it was a little seized but she's saying the rim isn't getting hot and again.. she only hears it when she's turning right and putting her foot on or off the brake doesn't make any difference.. she sent me a video and it does sound pretty bad.. now I know that I didn't over tighten the CV axle nut and I'm pretty damn sure that I didn't bend the dust cover for the roader in and maybe that's what's rubbing.. do you think that I might just have a bad or defective bearing assembly? I'm really stumped by this one..
And now she's saying it's vibrating too.. I think it's really starting to sound like a defective bearing.. but hopefully you might have come across this problem and it'll be something stupid that's easy to fix..
Why not just separate the ball joint from the control arm it's easier
Don Surdej because if people see it done the easy way they won’t have to PAY HIM to do it
Don Surdej THATS WHAT I SAID!!
Part 2 is not found
Before I embark on this project for my 2003 Ford Taurus, can you tell me if the loud groan/moaning noise that is very prevalent at speeds from 50-70 could be indicative of bad wheel bearings? The noise is very low and gets louder as I increase speed from 50 up to about 70. Speeds less than 50, no noise and after 70 the noise begins to fade away until 70 or so (highway speed limit is 75 in the area that I drive).
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately i can not verify weather that is the problem or not. However it does sound like a bearing. You could try turning side to side to see if it gets louder and quieter. You can even jack up the vehicle and check for play in the hub itself. Here is a link to the parts on our website.

1A Auto Parts Thank you very much for your quick response. I'll certainly take your advice and check the other things first. Great videos and instruction.
In my experience, speed-related growling can be three things - tire noise (particularly on FWD, if you let the back tires get cupped), bad hub bearings or other bearings, or a bad differential. I believe tires are the most common, the easiest (but not cheapest) to fix, and the easiest to debug.
With front-wheel drive, it is absolutely imperative to keep the tires rotated every 5,000 or so. I've never ruined any myself, but I've helped people who have. If you catch it when the noise starts, usually only two tires are bad, so rotating the tires changes the noise location. Good way to possibly avoid potentially unnecessary repairs.
After that it's all about getting under the car and figuring things out.
THIS IS MY SAME ISSUE, what did u find ?!
Thanks,, so when i turn it gets quieter, when i'm driving straight the car shakes.
u didnt take the knuckle off the lower control arm. is it ok if u do or do u not need to? also after replacing the hub do i need an alignment?
Thanks for watching. The knuckle does not need to come all the way off. You also do not necessarily need an alignment if all you are doing is some wheel bearings.

@1aauto Ok sir. Thank you very much!!
what kind of symptom would the bad bearing exhibit? im getting a turning/ wrenching sound as i come to a stop.
first thing is bearing noise... then 100kms later comes wheel shake u can feel in steering wheel... finally your brakes will start failing becoming very softbecause the rotor moves when brakes applied.... it happens usually over the final 5000k... but i had a failure much quicker....
Question: Do i have to remove the CV axle from the car to get to the hub? And should I replace the axle in general or is it still okay to keep?
You don't have to completely remove it. Take the nut all the way off and push the axle as far into the hub as possible. Remove the caliper, the rotor, and then the 3 bolts for the hub/bearing assembly. You have to push the "CV axle" in to have clearance for the 3 hub bolts.
I just fixed my axel and now my spindle is wiggling back and forth why?
+Sarah Peyatt We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out!
What would you recommend to do if the parts aren't coming off, even after w_d 40 and elbow grease?
If you do not have one you may need a 2-3 LB sledge to break it free from the knuckle. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
what size hub bolts do you need to get if those need replaced? I need all the specs please and thank you!
You should be able to get the correct replacements from the dealer. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
if ur doing both left and right front hubs is there a diff between left and right. if i buy both together how do i tell the diff between the two?
Thank you for watching. They are the same bearing. The front left uses the same as the right front. If you get a pair you will get 2 of the same bearing. Hear is a link to the parts on our website

@1aauto Could you tell me what kind of impact wrench/driver and the type of compressor I would need to get the hubnut off because that thing is giving me hell with the breaker bar. Should I use the 1/2 drive or 3/4 drive for the gun? And for the air compressor, how many gallons and PSI should It have?
All of it
Can I use a propane torch on the hub then hammer it out?
+Malaki Azaan Akecheta Thanks for watching! Yes that method can be used if the hub is really stuck on the knuckle.
@@1AAuto thanks. Today 3-25-20 I have to do both front struts, both cv joints and both bearings( maybe control arms i will try)The shop will do my ball joints due to not having a ball joint press. Thanks for feed back.
I have a 95 Taurus with pressed hub bearings. Is the process similar to a 96 or is it completely different
+Donald Spurlin Thank you for checking us out. The process would be different based on the press out bearing style. At this time we do not have a video showing the replacement, but if you search for a Taurus forum there may be a step by step walk through available. 1aauto.com
how do I know if the problem is with my wheel bearing hub or the spindle cause when I was driving the wheel made a really loud popping and squealing noise and when I jacked up the car you can move the wheel around
