I have a 2002 Escape. Assuming you are talking about the front wheel hubs? No, the Escapes do not use cotter pins. There is a splined shaft with a very slight helix angle; about 0.5 degrees, for an interference fit. The axle nut that clamps it all together is torqued to 300Nm (220ft-lbs?). No cotter pin.

Torq spec for front axle nut on a 2008 ford escape
Use no more than 15 to 20 ft. lbs. of torque. Rotate the wheel to make sure the bearings are seated. The adjustment nut is then loosened 1/6 to 1/4 turn, and locked in place with a new cotter pin. As a rule, endplay should be about 0.001 to 0.005 inches.

Ford Escape Transmission Shifter Problems
From 2001 through 2002 Ford used a plastic bushing on both ends of the transmission shifter cable that disintegrates over time and when it breaks your cable will slide off the steel stud either under the hood or inside your steering column, making it impossible for you to shift gears. The expensive replacement cable has the same plastic bushings so I decided to fix mine a better way. I had to search a while and measure many steel bushings before finding one that had the perfect inside and outside diameter. Finally I found a wire splice ferrule (12.5 - 14 ga.) used in fencing sold at Tractor Supply http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/fence-wire-ferrules-9-to-12-1-2-ga-pack-of-50 Simply drill a small hole at one end for a cotter pin and then press the ferrule onto the steel stud with pliers. Slide your shifter cable on it and then add a nylon washer and cotter pin. (which the factory should have done for safety anyway!!!!)

How to disconnect manual transmission shift links from shift levers on steering column of a 1983 Ford F-100? The links have pins with tapered ends that lock into nylon bushings.
There are probably cotter pins or similar locking devices on the bottom side holding them in place.

I have a 1996 ford f150 XL.. I am having a/c issues. I just replaced the drier, orifice tube, flushed the system, put new oil in, and r134a. The clutch will not engage, i have power at low and high...
I assume that you have not been able to properly charge this A/C? If not, use a cotter pin to short the terminals on the low pressure switch. Charge it to the proper pressures. Remove the cotter pin and reconnect the low pressure switch.

I have a 1994 ford aerostar, 3.0 v6, the nut under the boot on the tie rod has a pin in it and i need to know if it comes out and if it does does it pull out or knock it in?
Tie rod ends usually have cotter pin through the nut. Straighten the pin and pull it out with a pair of pliers.

Packing the wheel bearings on a 98 for Taurus
Just remove the wheel/tire, then remove the dust cap, remove the cotter pin and then remove the nut that holds the brake drum/hub assembly onto the spindle. Then remove the grease seal on the backside of the hub and remove the bearing. Wipe them off, inspect them for discoloration and flaking of the rollers, if good then just pack new grease into the bearings and re-install the bearing into the hub and install a new grease seal, then place the hub/drum back on the spindle and install the outer bearing and the nut, tighten to spec and install the outer nut cotter pin keeper thingy. bend the cotter pin and cut off the excess so the dust cap will fit on and tap it into place. Re-install wheel/tire and torque lugs to spec.

How do I remove and replace the front rotors on my 2004 V6 Ford Taurus
You must remove the brake caliper first then there should be a nut with cotter pin that holds it to the shaft some have a cotter pin some do not, but there should be a nut holding it on, remove nut slide rotor off, pack new bearings with grease then slide new rotor on, install nut and brake caliper, you may need to press caliper piston back in if it is too tight on the new rotor, use a c clamp to press piston back in.

How tight should the nut be on the front wheel bearings for a 2006 f250 two wheel drive.
  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  3. Support the front end.
  4. Remove the wheel cover, if equipped.
  5. Remove the grease cap.
    NOTE Check the wheel bearings for sufficient grease.
  6. Remove the cotter pin and retaining washer. Back off the spindle nut. Discard the cotter pin.
  7. Adjust the wheel bearings as follows:
    1. Tighten the spindle nut to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) while rotating the brake disc clockwise to seat the wheel bearings.
    2. Back off the nut 2 full turns.
    3. While rotating the disc counterclockwise, tighten the nut to 17-24 ft. lbs. (23-34 Nm).
    4. Back off the spindle nut about 1 / 2 turn.
    5. Tighten the spindle nut to 17 inch lbs. (2 Nm).

  8. Install the retaining washer so the castellations are aligned with the cotter pin hole. Install a new cotter pin.
  9. Check the wheel and tire assembly for proper rotation, then install the grease cap. If the wheel still does not rotate properly, inspect and clean or replace the wheel bearings and cups.
  10. Install the wheel cover, if equipped.
  11. Lower the vehicle.
  12. Road test the vehicle and check for proper operation.

To check the wheel bearing adjustment, raise the front of the vehicle. Grasp the tire at the sides, and alternately push inward and pull outward on the tire. If any looseness is felt, adjust the front wheel bearings as follows.
  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
  2. Remove the hub cap from the hub.
  3. Remove the cotter pin and the castellated nut.
  4. While rotating the wheel, tighten the adjusting nut to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm) to seat the bearings.
  5. Back off the adjusting nut until loose (120-180 degrees).
  6. While rotating the wheel, tighten the adjusting nut to 18 inch lbs. (2Nm). Torque required to rotate the hub should be 18 inch lbs. (2 Nm).
  7. Install the castellated nut and insert a new cotter pin.
