Follow these steps carefully
On the 2012-2018 Ford Focus: on level ground, crack the lug nuts loose on the noisy corner. Chock the opposite wheels, jack at the approved lift point, and support with jack stands. Remove the wheel. Wear eye protection.
On the 2012-2018 Ford Focus: remove the caliper and bracket, hang the caliper (do not stretch the hose), and remove the rotor. Unplug the ABS sensor and clear the wire from the knuckle. If the rotor is seized, use penetrating oil and careful taps.
On the 2012-2018 Ford Focus: remove the axle nut (often a high-torque nut — use a breaker bar with the brakes held or an impact carefully). Separate the outer CV from the hub by tapping the axle end (protect threads) or using a puller. Free the tie rod or ball joint only if needed for hub clearance.
On the 2012-2018 Ford Focus: remove the hub-to-knuckle bolts from the back of the knuckle and press/tap the hub assembly out evenly. Some Focus hubs are bolt-in assemblies; clean the knuckle bore of rust before install.
On the 2012-2018 Ford Focus: compare ABS ring and connector orientation on the new hub. Seat it squarely, start bolts by hand, and torque to specification. Reinstall the axle through the hub and torque a new axle nut if required — never reuse a stretch nut unless the manual allows it.
On the 2012-2018 Ford Focus: reinstall the rotor and caliper, torque bracket and lug nuts to spec, reconnect ABS, and lower the vehicle. Pump the brake pedal before moving. Road-test for growl, play, or ABS lights and recheck axle-nut torque after a short drive if the procedure requires it.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
