  Q: How to service the front wheel drive (FWD) wheel bearing on Mercury Mariner?

  A: The first step to service the front wheel drive (FWD) wheel bearing requires wheel and tire removal. Use the brake to stop the halfshaft rotation before you take off and discard the wheel hub nut. Take off the wheel speed sensor ring and the Brake Drum from the system. Insert the Front Hub Remover to the wheel hub joint and attach the Impact Slide Hammer or alternative tool for wheel hub removal. To remove an inner wheel bearing race that stays inside the wheel knuckle employ a suitable press working with the Pinion Bearing Cone Remover or equivalent instrument. The wheel bearing snap ring requires removal while the Impact Slide Hammer or equivalent with the Axle Bearing Remover will extract the bearing from the wheel knuckle. Install a new wheel bearing into the wheel knuckle through the use of Rear Axle Drawbar and Bearing Cup Replacer and Differential Bearing Cup Replacer before setting the new wheel bearing snap ring. Use both the Half Shaft Installer and Receiver Adapter to position the wheel hub inside the wheel bearing before reinstalling the wheel speed sensor ring followed by the brake drum. First use the brake to prevent halfshaft rotation then install the new wheel hub nut until it reaches 290 Nm (214 lb-ft) torque.
