Q: How to replace a hub and bearing assembly on a Ford Taurus?
A: Loosen the wheel lug nuts and raise the vehicle, supporting it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. With an assistant applying the brake, remove the driveaxle/hub nut, but keep the old nut for now. Remove the brake caliper, caliper mounting bracket, and brake disc from the hub. Suspend the caliper to the strut coil spring with wire. Push the driveaxle into the hub using a drive hub remover or equivalent puller. Remove the hub and bearing-to-Steering Knuckle bolts, separating the assembly from the knuckle. Ensure the mounting surface inside the knuckle and driveaxle splines are smooth. Install the hub/bearing assembly to the knuckle using new mounting bolts. Install the brake disc, caliper mounting bracket, and caliper. Seat the driveaxle by using the old driveaxle/hub nut and washer, tightening it to the specified torque. Replace the old nut with a new one and tighten to the specified torque. Install the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the torque.
Q: How do you remove the rear wheel hub on Ford Taurus?
A: To remove the rear wheel, loosen the lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and secure on jack stands. If it's all-wheel drive, apply brakes while removing the drive axle/hub nut. To install, guide the drive axle into the splines during hub installation. Tighten the hub assembly-to-rear knuckle bolts, brake fasteners, and drive axle/hub nut to the specified torque. Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts.
