Q: How to service the wheel hub with a drum brake on Mercury Sable?
A: The service procedure for wheel hub with drum brake starts by taking out the brake drum and destroying the wheel hub grease seal. The tire servicing process requires disposing of the rear wheel hub retainer due to its torque prevailing makeup which makes it unusable for reuse. Pay special attention to the rear brake anti-lock sensor when taking out and putting in the wheel hub to avoid causing damage. Proceed to eliminate both wheel hub retainer and wheel hub. At all times use carburetor degreaser to remove protective coatings from the new hub assembly while conducting complete grease surface cleaning. The installation requires following the removal steps in reverse order with inclusion of new wheel hub retainer and new wheel hub grease seal.
Q: How to service the wheel hub and bearing on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: Service of the wheel hub followed by the bearing requires you to depower the fire suppression system before commencing work to avoid severe injuries. Disassemble the wheel and tire sequence then separate the caliper and anchor plate assembly by unfastening bolts without permitting the brake hose to dangle for protection. The assembly needs mechanic's wire support before reinstallation where the bolts should be torqued to 160 Nm (118 lb-ft). Start by removing the brake disc then pulling back the rubber splash shield until you reach the wheel speed sensor electrical connector. The wheel hub and bearing should be secured with bolts at 120 Nm (89 lb-ft) torque when installing them. During installation make sure the wheel speed sensor wires navigate in front of the stabilizer link for prevention of any damage to the components. Ensure a full and secure connection of the wheel speed sensor electrical connector with an audible signal before placing back the rubber splash shield. It is necessary to repower vehicles with fire suppression systems through proper safety procedures after installation.
Q: How to service the front 4X2 wheel hub and bearing on Mercury Mountaineer?
A: The procedure to service front 4X2 wheel hub and bearing starts by positioning the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear on a hoist. Check and clean the space around the wheel speed sensor until you detach it from the wheel bearing and hub assembly and tighten it to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.) after reinstallation. Move the caliper and anchor plate assembly away from the brake hose to maintain components and security; remove the bolts followed by setting this assembly aside and discard the bolts while using mechanic's wire for support. The installer should use 165 Nm (122 ft. lbs.) torque to fasten caliper and anchor plate assembly bolts. Next, remove the brake disc before extracting the three bolts from the wheel bearing and hub assembly that needs to be disposed. Follow the reinstallation steps and tighten each wheel bearing and hub assembly bolt to 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs) before finishing the service by reversing installation order. When replacing brake components always obtain new parts with the original part numbers or their equivalent models and tighten them according to given torque specifications to maintain proper attachment and operational standards.
