If the axle nuts are seized, put your wheel back on, tighten the lug nuts and do 2-3 hard deceleration from lets say 45-10, the heat generated was needed to remove the bolts on mine
Thats a good tip
Excellent video friend 👍🏻 I have a FORD FESTIVA, and you don't know how much your explanation helped me. Practical and easy to understand 😊 Many successes on your channel 😊
Just so ya know, if you read the Ford service manual. It involves the correct "procedure" for shimming the bearing preload. If you Pack the bearings first, you cannot set the preload properly when replacing bearings. If the preload is 0.001"-0.002" too tight the bearings will burn up, 0.001"-0.002" too loose you'll get torque steer and pulsing brakes. I did many of these for years, even some for people on Fordfestiva.com. that would ship them to me. I had the manual, the Ford tools, and an assortment of shims to set the bearing preload. Properly set the new bearings will outlast the car. Also not to be a brand promoter I found Timken bearings to work best. I finally switched my spindles and rear axel out for the Aspire brakes and suspension. I quit because I had too many and life changed. LOL.
Great video and excellent narration provided along with it. There are lots of ways to separate the hub from the steering knuckle. You managed it well with minimum tools.
great video, thanks for posting, using to change my festiva brakes and rotors. FYI, I have a 1989 ford festiva carburetored, and as you mentioned in your video my car model uses a 29mm on the axle nut, I got the Autocraft 29 MM Axle Nut Socket off ebay, thanks.
I just got a ford festiva and I have removed all the lugs off the wheel and my tire isnt coming off. Is the bolt in the middle holding it?
Thanks for posting really helped me out on this one! ..PS... that spider nearly made me shit my pants when it moved...
The video was very great, I had a festive 2000 I had to do this procedure several times. now I have a Saipa, Iranian, practically the same car but year 2009. Those cars are great !!!
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT FOR POSTING THIS 👍 👏 ❤
We lived in out Festiva for 12 years. #PeaceLoveCar Super easy car to fix on the side of the road.
Thats very impressive
A fun follow up bit.ly/PLCNYT
Getting ready to do a CV axle replacement on my 93, this helps a ton. Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for documenting the entire thing. I need to do this on my Festiva and Aspire. #upperreceiverviceblock
Really great informative video mate well done 🤘
This was a huge help thanks guys
hahaha regarding a specialized tool for packing bearings -
Narrator: “nah, sounds like money”
Friend: “it is - it’s like $6 at Harbor Freight”
Kindly share with us front bearing spacer sizes.thanks
Nice video! you have a new subscriber! I Owned kia pride cd5 :) This video is very helpful!
Nice video! Great job of explaining everything in a simple easy way to follow.
Now where do you find parts?
I have an 88 festiva with 60k original miles. It could use new struts and springs but can't find them anywhere? Do you know something I don't if so please share! Lol
Best place to find thag stuff is rockauto.com. or join the festiva facebook group and buy from other members. I know these parts are getting hard to find.
great video i have one in the philippines kia pride 4door b1 engine
👏👌
How do you put the break caliper support spring back on?
SUCH a quality video, thank you for your help with my festiva, and taking your time to share this with others 🫡
Hi , could share what size or measures of the bearings? If posible..
Isn't there some involved process to set the new bearing preload? How is that done? Something about spacers or something?
If you didn't see us do it in the video then we didn't do it
I have a 83 Mazda 323 with the same hub assembly and my Haynes manual says the rotor can be pulled off normally but my Gregory’s says I need to take the whole knuckle off and use specialised tools. I’ve been trying to pull it off all day(it does slide off about 1cm) , but I guess after watching this I’ll have to do it the hard way… do I need to replace the bearings just to replace the rotor or do you think I can just pop the old ones back on?
If you go through all this trouble and plan to keep the car for a long time i would replace the bearings as well
I just got a ford festiva and I have removed all the lugs off the wheel and my tire isnt coming off. Is the bolt in the middle holding it?
It's probably just stuck. Hit the top of the wheel when it's off the ground and then the bottom. You may have to hit it pretty hard with a rubber mallet on the rim edges so that you don't damage it. Also make sure the car is safely jacked up so it doesn't fall over when your whacking it.
Super helpful. Thanks
Great vid thank you. I did this same repair many years ago but couldn't remember how I did it as I am getting older memory is slippin a bit. I currently have three festys , one with a jspec BPT and a G25M-R tranny unfourtunatly it has a blown head gasket an not sure I have the skills to do the repair. Guess Im fixin to learn. Your turbo LS swap looks pretty awsome would love a chance to check it out I think your local. Anyway again great info. in your vid. Keep on keepin on.
Sounds good. If you wver are local hit me up
@@thousanddollarcarguy okay so I'm new two leaving comments on TH-cam or any other social media for that matter, not sure if it's okay to say what city I live in on here, please advise LOL thanks
Thanks for this. Although I'm having issues figuring out what type of bearings to get... I never did this before, and there's multiple different sets of bearings and races, and some say inner, some say outer, and some say for both inner and outer. Some races have edges that stick inward, and others are smooth. Im extremely confused lol. I just bought some, but I have no idea if the seals bearings and races are all correct or not....
You will need inner and outter bearings. I should have all of the correct parts listed from rock auto. Otherwise you can use rockauto as the guide and just watch the video for where my friend says inner and outter. Hope that helps. If anything i wouldnt have been able to do this without my friend. It is a tough job.
@@thousanddollarcarguy Thanks, rockautos stuff was a lot more specific than what I was finding around earlier. Cheaper too.
informative video... :)
I did this on my 93
why is my car shaking when pressing on my brakes until 25 mph
Bearing preload is wrong or you didn't use new rotors or a combination of both.
hi, may i know what is the size of the bearing?.thanks.
Try this link. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1990,festiva,1.3l+l4,1128147,brake+&+wheel+hub,wheel+bearing,1672. I used rockauto for ordering my parts. Just make sure you get the correct year inner and outer for each side. Best of luck!
do you know what year ford aspire suspension will be swap compatible for festiva?
Depends on what you need. I believe theres a whole write up on the fordfestiva.com website. Also on the festiva facebook group. Usually people just want to swap the hubs and rotors over so they can get 4x100 mounting flanges.
@@thousanddollarcarguy thanks i’ll check it out!
@@thousanddollarcarguy no sure what i need but i guess the full suspension. whatever will make the upgrade better…
@@LintRoller86 depends what you mean by better. Like new? Or handle better. Or softer. It all depends
@@thousanddollarcarguy handle better with a 1.8L bp swap
Are you doing anymore vids it's been a while.
I want to. My house has needed a lot of repairs for a while so ive been pouring everything i have into that. Off camera if have a new larger core radiator in the festiva and the next step is tuning. Just need 500$ that doesnt go into the house and ill be ready for that big burnout.
Hey bro I have a question about the fueling system. Are you on Instagram or Facebook?
