Title: Ford Mondeo wheel bearings
Post by: Jake on November 25, 2006, 11:25:58

I might be changing some of these soon on a 96 Ford Mondeo 1.8 hatchback
Anyone know how differcult they are?
I've done my disco ones (many times).
Are they as easy?

Front or back

No is the answer, yo might find them to be an all-in-one or as they are laughingly called "self adjusting" type, big press needed IIRC.

If you strip the susp units then take them to the garage with the new bearings they might press them in for you for a few quid.

Last time I had one done on the Focus it was either 35 or 55 quid fitted - cant remember, but either way not bank breaking :wink:

On A Modo it's the front knuckle as they come away from the strut.  You might end up knacking the CV joint though as they use that silly laminated nut.
