2005 Ford F-150 Wheel Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the wheel bearing and wheel hub on 2005 Ford F-150?

  A: The first steps for wheel bearing and wheel hub repair require wheel and tire removal followed by anchor plate bolt installation according to specifications of 200 Nm (148 ft. lbs.). Propagate the removal process by taking off the brake caliper together with its pads and anchor plate while securing the caliper to prevent flexing of the brake hose with mechanic's wire. Always use specific solvent to clean the wheel spindle throughout including its threaded end prior to brake disc removal while discarding lubrication on threaded axles. You should use the provided lubricant to make the bearing assembly installation process simpler by applying it to the internal race. Next remove the wheel hub retaining nut before discarding it since the nut must be tightened to 400 Nm (296 ft. lbs.) during assembly. The wheel hub assembly should be taken off the vehicle before extracting the wheel bearing from the hub. The process should be completed by performing the reverse order of removal while installing an entirely new wheel hub retaining nut.
