What an amazing video. The camera is just in the perfect spot you can see everything he's doing he labels every socket or tool that you'll need to use and he goes through it step-by-step and puts all the back together step-by-step and explain stuff. it's great what an amazing mechanic and teacher

Torque Specs: Lug Nut: 100 lb ft Axle Nut: 148 lb ft Wheel Hub Assembly to Knuckle: 98 lb ft Caliper to Caliper Bracket: 22 lb ft Caliper Bracket to Knuckle: 111 lb ft Strut to Knuckle (2 large bolts): 173 lb ft This is based on a 2015 Ford Fusion Titanium 2.0, but it is likely the same for the 2014 model shown in this video. (Edit 6/30/24: corrected "Strut to Caliper" to read "Strut to Knuckle"

I did Roadside Assistance for a while. Either the Lugnuts were finger tight or I had to have a 24 inch bar with a 2ft pipe-extension to break them loose. Since years ago of doing that, I’ve always had a torque wrench, the right size lug socket And the breaker bar in my trunk. Also, thanks for the torques info. I’ll be doing this shortly, but I’ll also be replacing the strut towers. So thanks again for the technical info!

@@martycopley you're very welcome....I see that I wrote "strut to caliper" but I assume I meant "strut to knuckle," hopefully I didn't confuse anyone I did mobile auto repair for four years. I miss doing it but being the primary caretaker of my son, I just didn't have time to do it. Maybe some day I'll get to do it again.

@@mattmgarza I figured. Got the hub bearing on hand, and started. Noticed the inner band around the cv axle is torn. Was going to compline. But I’m Not doing this twice. Ordered axle. Just hoping the bearing holds until it arrives. LOL

@@martycopley like one of the bands that holds the boot into place? It seems like they're so affordable if bought online that it doesn't take a lot that's wrong with them before it makes sense to just get a new/rebuilt one. I recently got a rebuilt cv axle with intermediate shaft from Detroit Axle for a customer and it's been great.

I like the video. One note, I think you are wrong about "the green thing" at 12:50. It is supposed to be there. If I am wrong, please correct me, but I think I have read that it is part of the axle assembly. It's a thrust washer, and it's on the Ford Parts website along with the other parts of the assembly. I bought two new axles recently, and the both came with thrust washers. It's not left over from the old wheel bearing. I used this video to change my own wheel bearing. It helped enormously.

I hope you didn't throw out the thrust washer , premature bearing failure !!!!!

Quality video man. Thanks for the upload. I have a '14 Fusion Titanium AWD that I'm going to be replacing both CV axles on. I can't find any videos on that specifically, but this helps alot. I'm gonna go ahead and change the the hub assemblies, rotors, and brakes all the way around while I'm in there.

The green thing on the axle @12:48 looks like a thrust washer and should be added to some Ford models. There is a technical service bulletin (TSB) about adding that thrust washer on the axle after the fact. I have a 2013 Ford Fusion and the TSB is 13-5-24. FYI.

Can you say what brand or type of grease you used in the three different areas? Wheel bearing hub, CV Axle, and brand pad contact points? Side note, incredible video, I will be using this to change my wheel bearings later.

@beaukneaus 3 жыл бұрын

My fusion is throwing a wheel speed sensor code, and has also thrown a tone ring mechanical failure code. I did not see a tone ring as you were taking this apart. What is the wheel speed sensor reading? The axle or the bearing?

@davegallop9357 3 жыл бұрын

Nice video. Wish we had the heat here! I didn't see you note any torque settings for anything, is it required that things be torqued to a specific value?

@oscarzurita9464 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Torque spec is important

@jeremybrunes38 10 ай бұрын

Can you just press the hub assembly out without disconnecting the strut assembly? With a bolt and nut and washer?

@87bu11seye87 Жыл бұрын

The green thing on the CV axle is actually a thrust washer and is supposed to be there.

What are you lubricating the axle with?

Two things loc tite on the strut bolts and mark them to save the alignment!!!

Hey I have a 2014 Lincoln MKZ and my wheel shakes I change everything except the wheel burns and it still shake could that be the problem and was your shaking that’s why you change the bearings

@michaeljeffcoat9096 2 жыл бұрын

If the shaking is while braking, your wheel rotors need to be “turned” or machined by an O’Reillys or simply replaced. I’d just replace them.

The second I saw you let the caliper dangle by the brake line you lost all your mechanical credibility i wouldn't let ya do my brakes for sure. Buy you some caliper Hangers! They're cheap cheap and will save you a headache of replacing that brake hose when you bust one where they're crimped to the caliper they WILL leak from hanging by it's own weight luckily that car isn't too old. Still good video though and good camera work all in all. Also that green washer is part of the cv axle assembly and is pretty important, it protects the mating surfaces of the axle/bearing preventing burring/friction.
