Introduction
Replacement of Rear Wheel Hubs/Bearings on Ford Mondeo III from 2001 to 2007 - 2.0 i 16V 145cv
-
-
Raise the side of the vehicle you are interested in with a jack, preferably a wheel jack, then secure it with a jack stand. Then remove the wheel.
-
Insert a flathead screwdriver between the pad and the caliper piston to leverage the piston and allow clearance when removing the caliper.
-
Loosen the 2 slide screws marked in blue with a 12mm 6 or 12-sided wrench.
-
Make sure the slides are not seized. If not, remove them, clean the cylinders and re-grease.
-
-
-
Loosen the 2 screws on the caliper bracket with a 13mm 6 or 12-sided wrench. Be careful to hold the caliper bracket when it is completely unscrewed because it will fall off by itself.
-
Remove the clip rings that hold the disc to the hub studs.
-
Disc sometimes seized by corrosion on the hub axle. Do not hesitate to spray penetrating oil at the base of the studs and on the hub axle.
-
Remove the disc by pulling on it. If it does not come out, take a rubber mallet, or hammer with a wooden block and tap gently to avoid warping the disc by rotating it evenly to distribute the shocks.
-
Measure the disc veil, to ensure that it is within the manufacturer's standards, otherwise do the mandatory Replacement!!!
-
-
-
Unplug the sensor and pull the plug away from the sensor.
-
Loosen the 4 hub flange screws. Use a T45 male torx key.
-
Put some penetrating oil on the 4 hub flange screws because they are not easy to get!
-
If the penetrating oil is not enough, take a Bronze Gé and a hammer and tap hard in a staggered pattern between the screw and the hub flange.
-
In my case, I had to use a Flambard Gaz and heat the flange at the screws, hence the importance of properly separating the ABS sensor socket.
-
Clean the flat surface to remove rust. Use sandpaper. Put a very thin layer of grease to prevent rust.
-
Clean the chamfered part of the hub carrier flange. Use a wire brush and/or sandpaper. Apply a very thin layer of grease to prevent rust.
-
Clean the sheet metal flange with sandpaper to remove corrosion.
-
-
-
Here is the brand new hub , make sure the sensor works and the bearings spin.
-
Here is the old hub, which was HS because the bearings inside had play.
-
Reassembly is done in reverse order to disassembly, so follow the steps backwards...
-
Be careful with the disc when you put it back in place, if you have greasy hands, degrease it well!

Thanks for this well done and useful tutorial. Only the torque values were missing for those who use a torque wrench and those of the wheel too (alloy rims) while we're at it! ;-)
Thank you for the comments, and the tightening torque is in the comments. Kind regards.
Hello, I am the author of the tutorials, but I am with my wife's account, and the tightening of the 4 screws of the rear hub is 70Nm sorry for the delay, but for other people who will still do it, it will be useful. good luck to all professional or amateur mechanics.
Good morning
Cédric Valtz have you found an answer to your question about the tightening torque of the rear hub screws???
Sincerely.
What torque should the hub screws be tightened to when reassembling?
