Ford puma wheel bearings

[simon mk2]

Can any one tell me how hard it is to replace a wheel bearing on a puma at the front and do I need any special tools eg a press??


Thanks Simon.

Yeah you will need a press to push the old bearing out and the new one in. A bearing drift set should have the correct sizes for installing the bearing. Worst part is trying to get the bearing shell off the hub. I always burn them off to avoid damaging the hub There is also a circlip on the back of the hub stopping the bearing from moving so a set of circlip pliers will be useful.

It's dead easy, you just go down to your local garage and ask them. Seriously, they will have the kit and it can be a huge hassle.
