Need a diagram to change rear wheel bearings ford falcon ba ute

Replacing the pinion bearing in a 2004 BA Falcon Ute can be a complex and challenging task. Here are the general steps to follow:

1. First, raise the rear of the vehicle securely on jack stands and remove the driveshaft from the rear differential.
2. Drain the gear oil from the differential and remove the rear cover.
3. Remove the retaining bolt from the pinion yoke, and use a puller to remove the yoke from the pinion shaft.
4. Use a suitable tool to remove the pinion nut and washer.
5. Mark the location of the pinion flange relative to the pinion shaft to maintain proper gear mesh alignment when reassembling.
6. Carefully remove the pinion flange from the pinion shaft.
7. Use a bearing puller tool to remove the old pinion bearing from the pinion housing.
8. Install a new pinion bearing onto the pinion shaft using a bearing installation tool.
9. Reassemble the pinion flange, washer, and nut onto the pinion shaft.
10. Use a torque wrench to tighten the pinion nut to the proper torque specification.
11. Reinstall the rear cover and refill the differential with the recommended gear oil.
12. Reinstall the driveshaft, making sure to properly align the yoke to the pinion flange.
13. Lower the vehicle off the jack stands and test drive to ensure proper operation.

all differentials are all set to the same specifications as to pinion bearing preload , carrier bearing preloads and back lash between the crown wheel and pinion
the contact pattern is always the same as is the torque measurement of the drown wheel to carrier bolts
so any workshop manual that has a differential repair section will have what you want
find yourself a ford workshop manual and follow the section as to rebuilding a diff
Note --the pinion will have a + or - measurement on the end and that denotes the thickness of the spacer under the pinion between the pinion and the bearing inner race
you will have to get that right or the contact pattern will be out
3.7 ration is in utes or station wagons so it may be simpler to get one out of that vehicle and re-race it as all you will need then is new bearings and a collapsable spacer and a good tension wrench and a spring balance to get the pinion bearing preload correct

Howdy howdy John Mullins,

Thanks for adding the 2003 CLUE... that verified what I was suspecting: I am guessing the "BA" FORD nomenclature is pretty obscure ... I had to LOOK that part up... also "Utes"... Cute!

Now I am understanding "BA" to be a series of "Falcon" Fords
indigenous to DOWN UNDER typically between 2002 and 2005
(or 2003 to 2008... else where on the internet).

Being a life long FORD owner... I can tell you for certain FORD Factory manuals were/are available from the dealers... Being old fashioned... I like the hard copies (and have too many cars not to be self reliant)... and they all have the wiring diagrams, circuit drawings... schematics FOR SURE (Volume 3 of 3 on my '04 Navigator & Volume 3 of 5 on my '75 Ranchero).

You are going to like the last (Cabulture AU, local) option the best... eBay.

Hi there.
Well first jack up the rear end of car then block up the front wheels (front and rear) and put stands under the rear jacking points STILL keeping the pressure on the jack, clamp the rear brake pipe that comes from the body to the rear axle and clamp with a small clamp
but dont tighten to tight remove the flex pipe and also the rear shockers from the axle ,then the spring u bolts and then the hand brake cable from the center adjuster,now it should only leave your tail shaft 4 nuts/bolts.
But why are you removing the rear/axle????

Remove rear wheel and brake drum remove 4 bolts on axle housing axle and bearing will slide out . some times you have use slide hammer puller as the bearing is a tight fit.

timing belt may need to be tighten,need to check valve tappet clearance,set perfect timing,clean all sensors in manifolds

check the codes but is likely the shift position sensor on trans
