2001 Ford Escort Wheel Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear wheel bearing on 2001 Ford Escort?

  A: The service operation for the rear wheel bearing demands initial brake drum removal or rear disc brake rotor removal from equipped systems. You should begin by removing the wheel hub after unstaking its rear axle wheel hub retainer which should be discarded afterward. The installation process demands replacement of an anti-lock brake sensor indicator mounted on the wheel hub to avoid damage from reusing the component. A combination of press and steel plate should be used to correctly install the new anti-lock brake sensor indicator on the wheel hub. Install a new rear axle wheel hub retainer by positioning the wheel hub and always stake the retainer through its use of a cape chisel. The conclusion of this procedure involves reinstallation of the brake drum or rear disc brake rotor if equipped.
