How to change mustang wheel bearings?

Answer 1

For the front wheels: Remove the wheels, take apart the brakes, remove the dustcap from the rotor, remove the cotter pin, castle nut, washer, and outer bearing, then replace the castle nut and yank the rotor off (the intention is to catch the inner bearing on the castle nut and pop off the grease seal and bearing all at once). Make sure to pack the new bearings with hi-temp disc brake grease or moly grease. Replace the races (important), grease seals, and cotter pins.

For the rear wheels: Remove the rear wheels, and take the rear brakes apart. Then remove the rear differential cover and let the oil drain out. Remove the spider gear spindle and use a prybar to pry the inner axle end until it pops in a little. You should now be able to slide each half-shaft out and the wheel and axle bearings are inside. Again, make sure to replace the races and pack the new bearings with disc brake grease
