I have an 89 SC with a bad wheel bearing. I've searched threads on bearing problems but they don't seem to address my problem. Most say you can replace the bearings but I don't see how. After I took off the plastic cover there was a spring steel lock bent over the nuts. I bent this up to get at the nut. The ears of this locking device broke off revealing not one nut but four thin steel nuts slightly larger than a 1 1/4" socket. I got 3 of them off but don't have a socket to get off the fourth. If by chance I get it off, what do i use to replace the broken lock nut? Is there a kit of some kind to rebuild it?The spindle is a one piece non rebuildable deal from the upper A-arm to the lower ball joint as far as I can tell. The Ford parts man agreed with me & said a new spindle with wheel bearing for my car listed for over $400! If by chance I can"t remove my old ABS cable that will be another $176. If there's a cheaper way out of this (How to replace these bearings) please tell me how. Otherwise I think the best idea is to find a '93 or newer complete ABS setup (spindles with ABS cables & hubs, calipers, sway bar links, rotors) from my local you- pull-it. 89 & 90 SC's are very rare here so if I can find a regular T-bird with ABS brakes, I'll use those parts. Please let me know if there's another way.
