not 100% sure but i believe pressed, only bearings ive ever done that were nciely bolted in were on an ecotech cavy and sunfire, got a pic of the bearing? if it has slots for bolts it might just be bolted in which is fucking easy =) ---

I did a pre ecotec sunfire and an alero, both easy bolt in setups. I could check it out but I figured I would ask because if it is pressed in I will just take it right to my mechanic. I should just google it, haha. ---

I’m gonna agree with 4door [http://www.ford-forums.com/ford-taurus/21843-wheel-bearing.html](http://www.ford-forums.com/ford-taurus/21843-wheel-bearing.html) looks to be bolted in. edit: I keep reading, and I’m confused. I keep reading what seems to be conflicting info, but I’m no Ford guy. Someone else chime in. ---
