Learn to replace a pressed wheel bearing in a Ford, specifically a 95 Ford Windstar, but this method will be similar for all pressed bearing vehicles.
The main steps are to take off the spindle nut, tire, brake caliper, and rotor. Then remove the bolts from the lower control arm ball joint, tie rod, and strut. Remove the steering knuckle, then press out the bearing and hub/spindle. Then press in your new bearing and hub/spindle. This job is a little more complex but can still be easily done by any amateur mechanic. You will save $400-1000 depending on your vehicle.

Your face is in the video lol
For anyone coming to this video in 2023 or later: Don't do like me, support the entire back-side of the bearing when pressing the hub in 😛 I used the wrong plate and the inner part of the bearing broke free and pressed out the backside, then when pulling the hub out the front broke off (super cheaply made part according to reviews, but still super annoying)
if you use the lightly hammer technic and hammer it wholly in will it coause damage, cause i dont have the tool and still have to replace every 2nd year it seems.
You can change that bearing very while still hooked up to the rest of the car. While Well it's still hooked up to the strut. While it's still hooked up to the lower ball joint

I Just realized that in this video we can see a very good portion of your face.
My favourite part about watching older ChrisFix videos is how he always ended his videos by abruptly cutting himself off before he finished his outro 😆
