How hard to replace Rear hubs?

[turn_on68]

How hard is it to replace rear hubs. Seller on eBay has a foot note that it can be difficult to get old hubs off. These are OEMs for $25 each with bearing.

you need a press, patience, and probably a torch.

It takes a press.

Press and some fabbed up pieces to press with and against.

Also can be done on car with "Hub Tamer" kit. I scored mine from pawn shop cheap!

I used a set of bearing/gear pullers to pull the hub....

bearing pullers with a socket to remove and install bearings...

Are they Ford OEM you got or OEM brand? Big difference!

its really pretty easy if you know what to do. i did both my rears in about 50 minutes as in drive in and drive out.

I think you read the auction wrong, I'll bet that you're not going to get the bearings.

The auction states, "BEARING IS IN THE SPINDLE".

It doesn't say anything about the bearing being included with the hub.

i bought a set from him.
no bearing. they were in excellent condition though.
what you see is what you get. except mine have been drilled for mustang wheels.

Here is what he said.


"THIS IS THE HUB ONLY - THE REAR SPINDLE OR "KNUCKLE" HAS THE BARING PRESSED IN IT - IT IS NOT PART OF THIS HUB. THANKS!!"


Thanks again for catching that.

Ok maybe this is the complete set but for the front. How hard is it to replace the front ones?

[chris2523]

the fronts are super easy.
remove the front wheel and brake hardware. unbolt hub. remove hub. preferably a new nut. put new hub on. tighten. brakes and wheel back on.

 

[SATURN5]

Front are simple. Remove the caliper and rotor, bearing cap and remove the nut. Reverse using a new nut, torque to 250lbft.

Thanks so much easier than rears.
