2004 Ford Explorer Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement, You Could Be In For a Fight

**Sponsored Video**
First, special thanks to Advance Auto for hooking me up with the bearing for this 2004 Ford Explorer. Here’s some useful info from them.

This was probably one of the most difficult wheel bearing jobs I’ve ever done. I’ve never had one that wouldn’t come out with a press. I suppose there’s a first time for everything.

Still, I believe this video contains a wealth of information on wheel bearing replacement. By default, it also contains plenty of information on what to do when things go wrong. Either way, I hope you find this information useful, and perhaps entertaining.
