**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. Check out the Advance Auto YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/user/AdvanceAutoParts Find an Advance Auto Parts store near you : http://bit.ly/AdvanceStoreLocator Buy Online at Advance and Pick-Up in Store in 30 minutes: http://bit.ly/ShopAdvanceAutoParts Check out Advance Monthly Specials: http://bit.ly/AdvanceMonthlySpecials 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.
