2012 Limited. I need Front Wheel Bearings. So many manufacturers and prices are all over the place.

I went with Motorcraft bearings. The stock stuff got my over 150k miles without issues so I figured I'd replace with the same and not worry about build quality and the like. Some things are fine in the aftermarket but others I'd rather not chance, especially when the price difference it negligible.
On the bright side, should you go with something that doesn't work out it's an easy driveway fix.
That is cool. Attach a slide hammer to it.You should have little trouble removing the 2012 bearings. To get them out of an older Explorer, I used this tool. You thread it onto the lugs and beat away with a sledge. Sometimes they simply rust into the knuckle like a rotor rusts onto a hub...
