You need special tools for this job. The brakes and hub have to be removed to pull out the half shaft. Then the jointcan be changed. With air tools the job is around 1 to 1&1/2 hours each side.

The speedometer on a 1990 Mercury Topaz may not be working due to a faulty speed sensor, a broken speedometer cable, a blown fuse, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. It is best to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
A bubbling noise when accelerating on a Mercury Topaz 1990 could indicate a problem with the cooling system, such as air bubbles in the coolant or a leak. It is recommended to check the coolant level, look for any visible leaks, and consider bleeding the cooling system to remove air pockets. If the issue persists, it's best to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle.
change fuel pump on 1989 topaz. You have two options. Hopefully your tank is on empty or close to empty, with car on jacks, take off the filler hose, support the tank, undo the bolts holding the tank straps, lower the tank, and reach over and unlock the ring holding the pump and gauge. If you have trouble, unplug the wire harness, take off small hoses, then remove the whole tank. Have to turn it a little to clear the exhaust. Now you can see what you are doing. Screwdriver and hammer, unlock the ring, blow the debris away before you take out unit. Replace. Or......remove the back bench seat, cut a hole in the floor where the tank is,(measure from underneath,) large enough for you to work on, and there you go. No trouble this way. Just unlock the ring, clean area, remove old pump and gauge, replace, make sure pick-up filter stays on. Replace o ring seal, put a little lube on the o ring, lock ring, and with a piece of sheet metal, cut to the hole and just pop rivet or small screws and some sealer, and that's it. Don't have to disturb the clamps and lines this way.
Might just be the bearings in the front wheels. Check that. Also, a smart thing to check will be the water pump, if the pump is bad, makes it sound like the front main bearings in the engine are bad. And, hopefully there is nothing wrong with the engine. Good luck.
Simply take the old ones loose with the clamps and put new ones on. You may want to replace the clamps .
