    Is the rear wheel bearing job harder to do than the front?

    Well today i replaced both rear wheel bearings in my 2003 explorer. It took about 5 hours or so. We had to pull off the wheel. I bought two bearings at 76.00 for nationals. I also had to buy a 35mm axle spindle nut socket. First thing is you take and loosen the nut. then take off the...

    2002 Bad Scraping Drivers Rear Wheel

    anyone ever figure out how to get the hub off. I have mine tore apart, and can't get it done. I hate this thing right now. I was thinking the same thing, that the hub should just slide off, but it isn't. I can get the axle to go in and out a little, so I know its not the problem, but its...

    2000 5.0L Explorer. I hear a sound when I step on the accelerator pedal.

    Hello Everybody (I am glad I found you!)

    Hey I am new to here myself. I have come here to read in the past. Have found some good answers to fixing my explorer a few times. I am more of a ranger person myself, and a die hard ford fan, so I made the mistake of buying a 2003 explorer. I would say I love it, but the nature of their...

    2000 5.0L Explorer. I hear a sound when I step on the accelerator pedal.

    cast manifolds can crack too. I have seen a few. But it never hurts to check spark plugs. Also a filter change on the fuel is alway good. Exspecially if you run your tank down to E all the time.

    97 Explorer AWD problems.

    I have a 2003 and mine will put the power to the front wheels if the back ones start to spin. When this happens this causes a clunking sound. Have him see if it does it when he switches to full time 4wd. It should solve the issue.
