How do you change front wheel bearing on a 2006 ford focus?
You don't have to change the CV axle, as the wheel bearing is located in the hub assembly. To change just the bearing you'll have to press the old one out of the hub. Installation of the new bearing is the reverse of removal. However I recommend replacing the 🏠 hub and bearing as a unit. You'll still have to press the hub out of the steering knuckle, but this method will prevent damage to the bearing..
