Pressing the bearing in by the inner race with a socket is not good practice. I believe it should be on the outer ring not inner race. This bearing may have been damaged and could prematurely fail.

I have a question. What was the reason behind changing the BEARING? I am asking because I have a 2011 that is piping passenger side but I think it's a BRAKE issue the driver thinks it's the BEARING. I see no PLAY at all

Was wondering if you can take the bolts that hold the spindle to the strut before having the ball joint off if you were having trouble with the ball joint coming all the way out

I just bought my daughters car, , 2009 Lincoln MKX, , which is the same as the Ford Edge. My first ever job that it needed was a front bearing. Your video was very helpful. Thanks for sharing....Canada.

DO NOT press bearing into knuckle by inner race or the bearing will fail in a couple thousand miles of driving. Press the bearing in by the OUTER RACE. The reason you dont want to press the bearing in by the inner race is when you put a socket on the inner race and push downward with 500lbs of force the inner bearing race pushes the bearings with 500lbs of force, and the bearings then push down the outer bearing race with 500lbs of force. The bearings get tiny little dents where they push against the edge of the races with 500lbs of force. The correct way is to push the outer race directly so your socket is pushing the outer race directly into the bore with ZERO pounds of force pushing against the bearings.

I was dreading doing this but to damn stubborn to pay someone to do it, ended up renting a master wheel hub being tool from Oreileys currently about to put it back together. Thank you for your video it's been my guidance.

Hi tyrone here. Can you please tell me the front driver side wheel hub bearing kit info to purchase. I will need it for doing the 2007 Ford Edge SEL AWD SUV Front Left side as well. I have the info for ordering Front Right side...thank you.

[americanresistancebroadcas]

Is this for a 2009 Lincoln MKS as well?

[donnylong]

So I thought everything was going great but upon pressing the hub back in I heard a pop and the bearing and hub is flopping around. I thought I had good support on the back side of the bearing but I don’t know what happened. Is the bearing trashed at this point?

[ThatdudeinPhilly]

How much would it cost to repair the wheel bearing and hub at a shop?

[israeldominguez]

Do you have a video for the rear wheel bearing replacement on the same 2008 ford edge?

[stevengarrison]

Do you need to grease anything in reassembly

[joserobles]

great..job...I do it ..easy thanks ..a lot

[miguelsandoval]

Great step by step but seeing how each step was performed would be informative.

[jamesranger]

is the 2016 edge the same? I have to do my edge.

[chuckfowler]

This the all wheel drive or front wheel drive?

[davidkeeton]

Great video, definitely helped me with this job!

[davidkeeton]

Make sure as he says, when pressing the hub into the bearing, to support the inner bearing race, NOT THE HOUSING/SPINDLE. If you don't you REALLY stand a chance of pressing the lower inner race down and out of the bearing assy. I almost ruined my new bearing by supporting the housing, and when I checked the hub, it would wobble and go in and out. I was thinking that I have a defective bearing, but then remembered that he said support the inner race, that will press it all together correctly.
