wheel hub bearing Explorer 2005 RWD

[gerd]

Hello

In this way I will ask if somebody may help me.
The wheel bearing (front) at the 2005 Explorer RWD is damaged an nowbody can tell me how to repair it.
By ebay I found bearings, but my friend says to me that I need a completly wheel hub bearing.
I would be happy, if anybody could help me.
Sincerely Gerd

You will remove the rear hub/knuckle assembly. Then take it to a machine shop. Give then the new bearing, or new bearing and hub and they will press the old unit apart and the new unit together. Then you can put it back on the car.
You won't be able to press the bearing at home.
Whomever you call, make sure they have successfully done this before. Less they ruin the knuckle.

I'm not so sure as to all the steps on the front for a 2wd. Though I believe it uses the same hub. Watch this video.
Couple things, he knows what he's doing, he has air guns, the car appears to be road grime free.

its easier to just get the bearing in the hub already and replace the whole hub.
