Models with brake drums
Raise the rear of the vehicle and secure it on stands. Remove the corresponding rear wheel.
Check that the handbrake is released. Remove the rubber plug from the brake shield of the drum brake and use a suitable screwdriver to release the automatic brake clearance adjustment mechanism.
On some models, the brake drum can be removed independently of the hub. Loosen the drum mounting screw and remove it.
Using a lever, remove the cap from the center of the hub. Use a new cap when installing (see Fig. 10.25).
Unscrew the hub nut.
Note: The wheel hub nuts have right and left threads. The left thread is on the left side of the car, and the right thread is on the right side of the car. So, on the left side, turn the nut clockwise to loosen it.
Remove the brake drum together with the hub.
Caution: If the brake drum is worn and cannot be removed, additionally release the handbrake.
Models with rear disc brakes
Raise the rear of the vehicle and secure it on stands. Remove the corresponding rear wheel.
Remove the rear brake pads. Unscrew the 2 caliper mounting bolts and remove the caliper from the brake disc. Use soft wire to tie the caliper under the wheel arch.
Unscrew the brake disc mounting screw and remove it from the handbrake pads and wheel hub.
Using a lever, remove the cap from the center of the hub. Use a new cap when installing. Unscrew the hub mounting nut.
Please note: The wheel hub nut has right and left threads. Left thread on the left side of the car, right thread on the right side of the car.
Remove the wheel hub from the axle.
All models
Using a screwdriver, remove the gasket from the hole in the hub.
Remove the outer races of the tapered bearings from the hub using a drift. When knocking out the races with a drift, do not allow them to become skewed, as this will damage the hub (see Fig. 10.28).
Clean the hub with a clean rag dampened with alcohol. Install the outer races of the rear hub tapered bearings into the hub using the FORD 15-051 tool or a tubular drift of the appropriate diameter.
Lubricate the inside of the tapered roller bearing with general-purpose lithium grease and insert into the hub.
Lubricate the new O-ring between the lips and install it in place using a suitable tubular mandrel. Lubricate the outer roller bearing and insert it into the hub.
Install the hub with the brake drum on the axle. Make sure that no dirt gets into the bearing. Screw on the new self-locking hub nut and tighten to the required torque. Fill the new hub cap with a small amount of grease and hammer it into the hub.
Caution: If the cap does not provide a seal, water may penetrate into the bearings and destroy them.
On models with rear disc brakes, install the brake disc or drum and secure it with the screw.
On disc brake models, install the caliper and secure it with bolts.
Install the rubber plug into the brake shield and press the brake pedal several times to adjust the brake pads. Install the wheel and lower the car.
