- **ABS encoder in seal**: Magnetic ring in the seal feeds the wheel-speed sensor; no separate tone ring.

- **Matching SKF tool**: SKF names VKN 604 as the special tool for fitting this kit.

## On the job

### The job

VKBA 7178 replaces a worn front wheel bearing on the Ford Focus. It is a cartridge bearing that is pressed into place, so plan for a press and the right adapters before the job starts. The magnetic ABS encoder sits in the seal: fit it the right way round and keep magnetic tools and metal swarf away from it.

### In the box and alongside

The kit comes with a circlip and a nut, so no used fasteners go back on. SKF recommends its special tool VKN 604 for the job. SKF lists two per axle, and with the wheel off it is the moment to check the brake discs, pads, the CV joint boot and the other side's bearing.
