In this video, I will show you how to remove and replace the rear wheel bearings and seals on a 2005-2007 Ford Mustang. This is a very easy job if you have the right tools. These tools include a slide hammer and a bearing installer. If your rear end sounds like it is growling or has a constant humming sound, then your wheel bearings need to be replaced.

To lubricate the new bearings, simply use the rear end gear oil you will be running in the unit. When the unit is properly filled with fluid, it will be what lubricates the bearings during their lifespan.

@TheMileHighMechanic Жыл бұрын

It really does not matter what you lube them up with along as you use something, I personally like to use assembly lube because it provides the most protection before the oil gets to it.

@Nitrodan73 Жыл бұрын

@@TheMileHighMechanic Is it ok to use bearing grease?

@TheMileHighMechanic Жыл бұрын

@@Nitrodan73 I believe that will be fine, all the lube does is provide protection until the gear oil can make it through the axle.

Do you know what the part number was on the seal that you used? The one I removed looks like the one you installed, but when I try to order them, they don't have the metal lip on them.

@TheMileHighMechanic 11 ай бұрын

The kit I got no longer has the metal lip on the seals, so I don't think that you will be able to find them. The ones without the lip are the same, but are gonna be a little bit more tricky to get into the axle.

@Mile High Mechanic hey one last question I put everything back together went for drive lastnight seen some oil on rims this morning I did put about 2.5 qts plus friction modifier you think it could just be a little over flow coming out of seals?

@TheMileHighMechanic Жыл бұрын

@@jasonandsummer5109 it is almost impossible to over fill the diff because you fill it up till starts to come out of the drain hole (can't over fill because of this). If there is oil coming out of the axle then the seals are not sealing properly. I recommend taking off the wheel and inspecting the seal to see if is actually making a seal. If not you might want to get different seals.
