I have found that TRQ makes good videos. Informative and easy to understand. And, yes, I already have that removal tool, and others. They work really well. -

I notice the difference when I had normally-aspirated vehicles. I also notice the difference in my outdoor power equipment. To me, it's worth the extra expense over a lower octane fuel. Luckily, we are not at $6 / gallon for 93 octane, yet. But we are getting there 🥲 -
When I bought the vehicle, I planned on using premium fuel. Mainly because it is turbocharged (two turbos!) and is considered a performance vehicle. I have heard on more than one occasion that people notice a difference in performance when they use a lower octane fuel. That is because the knock sensor detects excessive knock and adjusts the timing, fuel injection duration etc. to protect the engine from damage. Most people might not even hear it or know it is happening. That should be enough for anyone. Of course, at the time I had no idea I would be paying 6 bucks a gallon for gas! Saving a few bucks likely not worth it in the long run.

Sadly as another friend was called in to assist, the passenger side bearing we started on was not in a trustworthy state of being tested. Through I will say we didn't impart the same force on the driver side bearing as we were able to remove all the remaining bolts to remove the knuckle. It did have some drag while trying to spin. As a note. There is special tool to separate the knuckle from the control arm. Though do remember to loosely re-install the nut on the joint connecting the knuckle to the control arm before using the press, or you will need an angle-grinder to repair the threads. If anyone else is attempting this in the salt-belt, I would advise to remove the knuckle completely and use the services of a machine shop to press the bolt-on bearing from the knuckle. It doesn't separate as easy as many youtube videos would have you believe. I will be making use of silver never-seize when installing the replacement bearings.

@thesavo I may have missed it, but did you confirm that the wheel bearing was bad once it was removed? -
Thank you Samurai Edge for your response. The sound did emanate from the rear of the vehicle, though pin-pointing to one side or the other was in conclusive. The tires are only 2 years old with no visual signs undue wear. A nail what noticed in one threads, however this discovery was minimized by a shade-tree mechanical member of the family as "being beneath the death of thread" as the sound can be heard starting at such low speeds. So on Sunday, I made a failed-attempt to unbolt the wheel bearing from the knuckle and isolate it from the drive-shaft non-destructively. To make a long story short, this did not workout. A 55-ton press was required to remove the (bolt-on) wheel bearing as attempts with traditional slide hammers and hub pullers lead to another failed attempt with the an Orion puller. https://a.co/d/09GzRjxl New wheel bearings are on order from Detroit-axle which has been a good brand of brake and suspension parts in the past.

Thanks Samurai, I have read all kinds of information on the issue. Im hoping to hear from someone who has first hand experience with using the Titan TC 2323 chains (or any other SAE chains) on the 2016 Edge with 245/60R18 tires. I've been told people have used them with no issues but this is all third party info from a retailer. Anyone have any first hand experience? I will be spending lots of time in the High Sierra's this winter and want to be prepared.

Did you research any information on snow chain usage on the Ford Edge before asking his question? Here are a coupe of answers: https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/ownership/customers-ask-ford/should-i-use-tire-cables-or-chains-with-my-vehicle/ But, you live in Irvine, CA. so what type of conditions are you expecting in Southern Cali? -

Facebook will not be the same as this forum. Thankfully, I hate social media and won't go there AND I work from a desktop 🙂
