Help 04 Escape
Ok yall I have a problem. Besides my truck has a leaking radiator.
My wife's 04 escape front wheel drive only (2wd). Needs new front wheelbearings. Ok vehicle on jackstands, wheels off, calipers and caliper mounts off, the big nut on the axle shaft is off. Now do I need a puller or something to get the rotor off and the wheelbearing. Because I can not get the rotor off, please tell me I do not need to remove the axle shaft because the only way I see that happening is if I remove the lower ball joint. |

I know I have to press the bearing out and in. But I can't even get the brake rotor off. That is where I am stuck at right now. I am going to tomorrow when I go get the new wheelbearings. Now I just have to find the press to press them out with. Last edited by bigcountrysg : 10-20-2008 at 10:30 PM. |

Remove the brake disc Remove the wheel hub nut. Remove the tie rod end nut. Remove the cotter pin. Remove the nut separate the tie rod end from the knuckle Remove the bolt and position the anti-lock brake sensor aside Separate the lower ball joint from the wheel knuckle. Remove the pinch bolt and nut. Separate the lower ball joint from the wheel knuckle. separate the halfshaft from the wheel knuckle. Position the halfshaft aside and support. Remove the wheel knuckle. Remove the strut-to-wheel knuckle bolts and nuts. Remove the wheel knuckle. press the wheel hub from the wheel bearing and knuckle press the inner wheel bearing race from the wheel hub. Remove the snap ring. press the outer wheel bearing race from the wheel knuckle. If necessary, remove the brake disc shield hope this helps, reverse for install. post here or pm me for any stions if you need help.

Some of that is out of order like remove tie rod nut, remove cotter pin. Well in order to remove the tie rod nut you have to remove the cotter pin first. Same thing goes for the ball joint. You have to remove the pinch bolt and nut before you can seperate the ball joint from knuckle. |
