Q: How to service and repair the front wheel hub on Ford Excursion?
A: Service and repair of the frontal wheel hub starts by hoisting the vehicle in NEUTRAL mode while removing both wheel assemblies. The next step is to detach the front disc brake caliper and rotor before placing the caliper to the side. Proceed with uninstalling the hub cap from the hub assembly before removing the cotter pin together with the adjusting nut and flat washer. The spindle threads require an inspection for future reassembly Smoothness before extracting the outer bearing cone and roller assembly to pull out the hub assembly from the spindle. A slide hammer and bearing seal remover must be carefully used to remove the inner bearing cone together with the bearing seal while protecting the bearing cage. The installation process should avoid dry bearing rotation from compressed air and should clean all traces of lubricant from bearings together with hub and axle spindle. Check for bearing and bearing cup wear during inspection and replace damaged parts using entirely new components. Professional equipment called a bearing cup driver tool should be used to place both bearing cups inside the hub carefully while checking that a 0.38-mm (0.0015-inch) feeler gauge cannot fit between the hub seat and the cups. Use emery cloth to clean any inconsistencies from the spindle shoulder along with the seal bore. Regularly insert lithium-base wheel bearing grease that matches Motorcraft Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or -K until its level matches the bearing cups. To achieve complete bearing lubrication you should apply grease with a bearing packer on both the cone assembly and roller components. The hub should stay centered on the spindle while installing the inner bearing cone with roller assembly inside the inner cup along with the wheel bearing hub seal that needs full lubrication and proper seating. After installing the hub assembly you must place the outer bearing cone with rollers along with a flat washer and adjusting nut and then finish the bearing adjustment before using a new cotter pin to secure everything. The procedure ends with attaching the hub cap followed by the front disc brake caliper before adding the disc rotor all the way until the front wheel and tire reinstallation is complete and the vehicle can be lowered.
Q: How to service and repair the wheel hub and wheel bearing on Ford Mustang?
A: The service process for wheel hub and wheel bearing elements begins when the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL gear on a hoist. Dangerous damage occurs when you suspend the caliper and anchor plate assembly from the brake hose. Accomplish bolt removal of the anchor plate while carefully setting the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly to one side with mechanic's wire as support. The necessary bolt torque for anchor plate reinstallation should measure 133 Nm at 98 ft. lbs. The next task involves separating the brake disc before discarding the wheel hub grease cap. A new wheel hub nut needs to replace the original because the old nut serves its purpose only once so any control issues during driving can be avoided. You must replace the discarded wheel hub nut with a new one before tightening it to 300 Nm (221 ft. lbs). The removal process should proceed by extracting the front wheel bearing and hub assembly before performing the opposite installation steps for assembly. New parts must have identical part numbers or equivalent specifications whenever possible while torque values from the specifications should be followed for suspension component assembly.
Q: How to service the wheel hub for a disc brake on Ford Taurus?
A: The service procedure for wheel hub with disc brake begins by taking off the brake disc before disposing of the wheel hub grease seal. The essential step in this process requires disposal of the rear wheel hub retainer because it follows a torque prevailing design it cannot be used again. When handling the wheel hub perform all operations with care to prevent damage to the rear brake anti-lock sensor. Discarding the wheel hub retainer will allow access to remove the wheel hub. Perform a complete cleaning of grease that coats surrounding parts and strip away new hub protective coatings with carburetor degreaser before installation. You should install the wheel hub by following the reverse order of wheel removal but including a new wheel hub retainer and wheel hub grease seal.
