For the guys who fixed this themselves.. can you please post links to the parts you bought? I'm going to attempt my front bearings with some cheap bearings $20-30 each from rockauto.com .. not sure if I also will need a wheel seal for each side. . or this "nut pack" whatever the hell that is? If youre talking about the large axle nut that holds the halfshaft in the hub I'm not sure why you would need a new one, I've never had to replace one on any car I've ever owned unless I messed it up during the uninstall.

Thanks for the replies guys! Just the info I was looking for.When we bought the car (used) it actually was missing the manual otherwise I could have probably found some of this info in it. Having a drain plug does make a simple drain & fill process pretty easy, I might just do that 3-4 times until the fluid looks nice and clean.

Am I asking the wrong questions, or is it just that nobody knows the answers?

Hey all, I'm looking for some info about how to flush the transmission fluid, and what type of fluid to put in and how much. Car is a 2010 Fusion SE 4 cylinder automatic. As far as methods, Ive heard of people only dropping the transmission pan, or syphoning fluid out of the dipstick and getting about 3 quarts. I'd prefer not to do this method as it seems like its not the best way to change the fluid as you leave a good 3-4 quarts of old fluid in the system. I've done a flush on the old car, a 2001 Mazda 626 v6 auto. I tapped into the transmission fluid line, cut it apart and ran an extended hose into a bucket full of fresh fluid for the intake line, and ran the output line to an empty bucket. Started the car and let it idle till the fluid coming out the output line looked fresh and clean , shut it down and put the lines back together and topped the fluid off through the dipstick. Can anyone tell me if this is a reasonable approach for the fusion? Is there a transmission filter, and if so where is it and where can I find a replacement? How about fluid? What type and how many quarts? I read about 7 quarts but not sure if thats for the 4 or 6 cyl. Thanks for any help in advance!

Hey all, new to the forum, just got a 2010 Fusion for my wife and we love it! Its a black SE 4 cylinder automatic, kinda high miles (85k) but its in fantastic shape. I work on all my own vehicles so first thing I did is go over all the maintenance items on the car, changed the oil, went over fluids / brakes etc. Next thing I'll be doing is a transmission flush and I'll need to do some research on here to find out how much fluid, and where to find the cooler lines to tap into for the full flush. Looks like a great forum, thanks to the hosts and mods for creating and maintaining it!
