How to Remove the Wheel Bearing on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Bearing

Let's see how to remove the wheel bearing along with all the attached parts on a Ford Fiesta. Position the car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a telescopic spanner and raise it to a comfortable height for work; unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper, detaching it from the bracket, and use a socket spanner to loosen the caliper bolt. Now remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc, pull the disc towards you with your hands to slide it off the wheel hub. Completely remove the wheel hub from the arm of the car and extract the worn bearing. Using a pressing tool, fit the new bearing. Refit the brake disc with all the attached bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then refit the brake caliper (remember to tighten all the bolts well). Before refitting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and tighten the bolt.
