Has anyone done one of these yourself ? I know the complete assembly has to be removed and the bearing pressed into the hub . I'm willing to go as far as removing it and taking it to a place that knows how to R&R the bearing . From what I understand if you don't get it right when pressing it you can snap the bearing .
Looks like a fair bit of labor and the shop manual lists several special tools for popping the ball joints , tie rod ....etc . My one worry is the axle spline may be seized but it was only done about 55K ago so it may be alright and there is a puller for that as well . Shows a Focus being done on youtube which is somewhat the same .
Job done at my local Ford dealer is about $400 , cost of the bearing about $60 for a non Chinese one .
Anyone ??
Edit , just talked to a local garage , says he can do it for $130 if I supply the bearing .
