Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

Default Changing hub assembly on 2001

HELP!!!!!!!!!! I am trying to change hub assemblies and I am having a time getting it done. I have taken out the pinch pin, but the arms are not going to be cajoled to come down so I can pop the hub assembly off. Any tricks, tips or ideas???????
