I think I have a bad right rear wheel bearing, I have the brakes off, I have the rotor off, now where the heck is the wheel bearing at? I have no clue how to do this but i figured it would be asy to get to, can anyone tell me how to change this while I have it all apart right now? Its a 2000, THANKS FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE

 

It should be pressed on to the axle near the flange. If the axle is worn down a bit get an bearing saver kit. Most auto parts stores should have them if thats what you need. Otherwise just have a new bearing pressed on. A machine shop can do the pressing pretty cheap. Good luck

 

By the way the axel has to come out of the rear. Be careful with the spider gears and the pin that holds the thru shaft in the rear.

 

I would say to take it in and have it done. more than likely they are pressed on....

 

The wheel bearings are in the axle housing , not pressed onto the rear axle shafts - that's a Ford 9" style that does that.

A slide type puller is use to get the bearings out.

Hope this helps !
