Hi-
I am trying to replace the front wheel bearing assemblies on my 02
Ford Explorer XLT V8. I cannot get at the three 15mm bolts that hold
the assembly onto the back spindle housing. Does anyone know if these
require a special tool? I've tried all sorts of box wrenches. Sockets
will not clear the CV joint. The bolts are also on really tight,
despite spraying them with WD40 for several hours. Open end wrenches
are out of the question.
Best,
George
