Hi i have a 2000 focus and i am just wondering how easy or hard it is to change the rear wheel bearing,
It is screaming at me and is very annoying,
Could somebody tell a how to and also if it is pressed in, many thanks
Ann

 

pressed in, very easy if you have a press. torque setting is 235nm

Where are you in the north west?

 

I done mine myself using my mates press.not that hard tojust make sure you press the new ones in straight.

I think to get the old ones out I used a big socket bit.

Hope this helps.

 

i am near blackburn,
i have nicley talked the fella to fix it for me but he was not sure if was pressed or not.

 

thanks i will show fella post and he can see what you saying cause if he screws it up he cant blame me n will be all down to him

 

remove wheel, remove dust cover, undo hub nut, release handbrake, pull drum off, remove circlip from bearing, press bearing out, press new bearing in, replace circlip, push drum back on, torque new hub nut to 235nm, rpelace dust cover, replace wheel.

Make sure the car is safely supported while working on it.

 

I did my wifes 53 focus zetec with drums on the back and that took me about 40 mins to do.

 

i got discs on the back of mine

 

its a similar procedure

 

ok thanks alot just waiting for weather to get bit better x

 

Is the rear wheel bearing the same for all the focuses???

 

i am not sure but when i checked a online shop it came up with different types as i werent sure i got mine from a car shop
