How to Replace a Front Wheel Bearing on a Ford Transit Custom MK7

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

In this video, we will see how to change a front wheel bearing on a Ford Transit Custom MK7. This operation requires professional equipment, so it is advisable to have the work done by a specialised workshop, but we will describe the various stages of the process: lift the vehicle and remove the wheel, then disassemble the brake caliper after retracting the piston. Loosen the axle nuts and remove the disc from its support. Clean the wheel bearing mounting seat with a wire brush and WD-40, then separate the disc from the hub, remove the bush (this operation is done with a special tool), and do the same to extract the hub from the inner ring of the bearing. Using the same tool, reassemble the bearing in its seat and then tighten the wheel bearing fixing bolts. Refit the brake caliper in its place, pushing the piston forward. You can then refit the wheel and lower the vehicle.
