Advice for installing the rear wheel bearing of a Ford Kuga.

Model: Ford Kuga C520, MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Bearing

In this video, we are given excellent advice for installing a bearing on the wheel of a Ford Kuga. It is a crucial detail that is often overlooked, leading to premature failure of the new bearing. We are talking about the ABS sensor: before removing the bearing, we should disconnect the electrical connector of the ABS sensor and carefully pull it out from its seat in the hub, without tugging on the cable. We need to thoroughly clean the tip of the sensor from any metal debris and check that it is not scratched or damaged. We should carefully inspect the gasket, or better yet, use a new one. After removing the old hub, we should clean the housing on the axle arm well. We must avoid installing the hub with hammer blows, as this will irreparably damage the new bearing. We should apply the correct torque and then reconnect the electrical connector of the ABS sensor, ensuring that the warning light does not turn on while driving.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
