REPLACING BEARINGS FOR 1996 AWD FORD EXPLORER
I AM WONDERING I HAVE GOTTEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS. THE FIRST ANSWER I GOT WAS
THAT YOU CAN NOT REPLACE THE BEARINGS YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE HUB UNIT BECAUSE THEY ARE SEALED. THE 2ND IS YES YOU CAN REPLACE THE BEARINGS ALONE PLEASE WHICH IS CORRECT?? MY EXPLORER IS A 1996 AWD NO ANTI-LOCK BREAKS, 8 CYL. THANKS |

I thinks yours is the hub/bearing type since it's a AWD.

I don't know if the 2000 uses the same 95-99 hub/bearing design but the
official Ford price is $267. At fordpartsonline.com you can get it for about $200. I hear there is a Timken replacement that goes for $176 but I couldn't find one locally here in Dallas, TX. The socket for the nut is a 32mm or a 1 1/4 inch. Cost me about 8 bucks at pepboys. I did mine this week and it took me ~2 hours per wheel (I did only one side). You need to lift the truck and remove the wheel, brake caliper, rotor and then the hub/bearing assembly. The rotor just sits on the hub but expect to have to bang on it a bit to get it loose.
