How do you replace the wheel bearing on a Ford Transit Custom MK8?

Model: Ford Transit Custom - Years 2012-2024
Part: Bearing

Let's see, changing the wheel bearing is not an impossible task, but it requires a bit of patience and definitely all the right tools. First of all, you need to lift the van with a jack and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheel, then disassemble the brake caliper and the disc. Now comes the most difficult part, and here you need to pay close attention: you need to remove the hub, which is usually secured with bolts or a tight central nut, use a puller if necessary. Once the hub is removed, the old bearing needs to be removed with a press or a hammer and a punch. Clean everything, insert the new bearing and reassemble everything in reverse order. Tighten the bolts well and take a test drive to verify that everything is okay. I realize that these steps are not easy to do as a DIY project, but if you feel confident enough to work independently, you can consider yourself really skilled.
