All right so here we are today and we're gonna do the rear wheel bearing on a
Ford Edge 2008 so what we got to do is take off the center nut here, we have our
32 mm socket so that's gonna go like that and then at the rear here you can
see there's some bolts for the calipers there
those are both 15mm bolts so we have our trusty ratchet we're
gonna get in there and then we have a "specialty tool" I'll show you later how
that has to work because if you don't have this tool you're never gonna get it
out so we've taken the first nut off, and if you can see here there's actually
another one behind it as well, both 32mm all right so we've taken off
these bolts here we've just un-loosened the 15mm one, and then on the bottom
to come off so what we can do now is take off this whole caliper assembly but
there's no need to split it but as you see it's really really tight so what
we're gonna do is just get a pry bar in here just like this and then as you can
see there you go we're just pulling it off like this so we're just gonna pull
it off
alright now we've given the rotor a couple good whacks to free it up so you
can see here we're pulling off and now we'll have to get the bolts from the
back with a special tool and I will show you how to do that okay so we are
underneath the vehicle and you can see the Torx bits where they go one, two, and
there's a third one now without this tool you will never be able to get a
socket in there so we can put this tool in and you can see there it's in and you
can see actually how close it is to the ABS ring so without this tool never
gonna happen and then here now we have room we can just put a regular socket on
it a 9/16 and then we're gonna zip them up with the gun okay so we've taken out
the first bolt right in there, it's loose it's still there, there's 2nd, 3rd
and 4th on the other side, okay so I have learned that the impact gun can't
get into all of them so there's that one right there with that bolt you can see
it goes in there super duper tight there we go focus on there
there you go alright so here we have a different view so I was able to get my
ratchet on in there so we're gonna try wrenching it up just from from the back
side down here and yes that that works so we can see there we have still the
extension on the special tool, if you look in there there it is yeah,
there's a bolt turning so we can spin it up on the back just like that and you
can see it coming out from the back and now we're gonna try to get the top one,
you can see there's the tool can pull it out put it back in and in the bottom you
can see the other ones actually loose that's that other one down in there and
there's a tool from this side so we're gonna use a wrench and we're gonna wrench
it out and it actually worked out quite quite well there. It is turning,
and if you look in there you can see y'all focus yeah you can see it's loose
you can actually see it moving right in there okay so we got all the bolts loose
from the back everything's loose we can actually see the clearance within the
bearing let's see if I can get you a better angle you can hear it wiggling
so what we're gonna do is we're gonna put a special tool on because I can't
push this in and we don't want to hammer on it
okay so we have our tool all set up just use lug nuts for these here's the center
screw, we have it attached to our gun, so what we can do is just give it a bit, there you go
and you can see it's right in there like that and we can push it out just like
that okay so the bearing was stuck on to the backing plate so here's the whole
backing plate you can see the bearings there and this it just goes back onto
here just like that and then you line it up in to go through so as you can see
the brakes are all rusty here's the bearing it's still stuck in the backing
plate there's the there's the bearing right there so what we're gonna do is
we're just gonna hammer it out right from the back I'll show you that in a
minute
and here's those other bolts, also we'll make sure they're clean
but you can even see there and they won't lose them okay so we have the new
bearing this is it the new bearing looks like just like that you can see brand
new bearing assembly one piece it matches this one perfect now if you
look this lip right here I'll point you to it my finger this lip this is where
we're gonna bang on the old bearing so if we look on the back we're gonna be
able to see that lip and that lip is right there so
we're taking a close look, this lip, is this lip, so we'll bang there and it'll
pop right through the hole all right so as promised we bang the bearing out, that's
it and there's the back just like that see just like that now what we're gonna
do is we're gonna take a wire wheel and we're just gonna clean this up a little
bit here, put a little anti-seize so the new bearing goes in nice, and then we are going to line it all up and
put it together okay so we've taken our wire wheel and
you can see in there how the rust is all cleaned up all the way around so we're
just gonna test fit our new bearing so we can just go like this
take it in yeah just drops right in, and if we look from the back how it looks
just like that you can see just like that so now we'll line it up and put it
back together okay so in addition I clean the bolts a little bit now a
little learning thing here to tell you all I did who was with the wire wheel is
just clean the very tips of them, you don't want to clean the threads and the
reason you'd want to clean the threads if you've noticed none of these bolts
are rusted and this material here Ford actually puts on, like an anti- rust coating I
don't know if it's zinc coated or what it is so you don't rust so if you take your
while wire wheel and you clean this whole thing up so it's shiny steel again
what'll happen is they will rust in the new bearings so next time you're trying
to take it off they will rust and it will be difficult, so there it's already got
nice clean threads but you can see on here there's no anti-seize or any type
of coating on it it's just bare steel so these actually have the coating on so
just so you know don't take a wire wheel to the whole bolt just the very edges.
Leave this coating on and then this way it will come up next time because if you
take this off and it rusts inside here good luck trying to take it off next time!!!
You might not be able to get it off so my tip okay so so we've popped this
thing back on here you can actually see the bolts right there and then here's
your bearing, I put a little bit of anti-seize just around the edges there
you can actually see it right there just so it's nice so we would do is we
pick it pick up the bearing like this we're just gonna slide it on just like
this and then what we're gonna do is line it up there we go and then you can
see the the bolts there and then what I'll do is I'll basically just push it
on and start the bolts by hand and then we'll tighten it off okay we're back
underneath now we have it sort of snugged up, we're still snugging up the
bolts you can see there's one two three right up there and there's the fourth
one there there's a better view of this one, just have to snug up, you can see
there's the tool, there we go, and I'm turning it
okay so we got all our bolts tightened you can actually see them right in there
there's one, there's two, and then the other two on the bottom, we got our
center nut there, there we go, we're gonna tighten
up that nice and tight and then we got to make sure we put our second nut on
top which is this one right here and that'll go on top and I don't know why Ford does it, I guess
they lock together, and then we'll put the rotor on, caliper on, and then we'll
be done okay. So we've got the two nuts on right there we put some anti-seize
around there it sees quite rusty there we're gonna be doing the rear
brakes a little bit later, but for now we're not gonna do that so we're just
gonna grab the rotors, or the "rotor", now we're gonna push it on just like
that and what we'll do is we just gotta wiggle it for the emergency brake,
The emergency brake shoes that are in there just to center them, then the rotor will
pop on and then we're gonna put the brake caliper okay so I've thrown this
on, you can see here's actually the whole brake caliper itself, I never took it
apart, I never split it so there's just the two
15mm bolts in the back, you can actually see there's a hole right there
one there, the second hole there, so that's gonna go there look at the back we will
see you can see the two bolt holes one and you can see the other ones down at
the bottom so that's good so what we can do is just take our bolt just like this
and then we'll just jumble it around a bit, and center our bolts two bolts in them
that's it done!!! I hope you subscribe!!!
