97 front wheel bearings

Does anyone know how to remove the front wheel bearings? Is it a matter of just unbolting them after you get the caliper and cradle off? ~Jeff~

Re: 97 front wheel bearings

You have to replace the whole wheel hub assembly if the bearings are bad. The bearings are non-servicable. Ford says to replace the nut that holds the hub on the spindle, also. The new nut should be tightened to 188-254 lb-ft. Remove the caliper and then the rotor from the hub, undo the spindle nut and remove the hub.
