Car Wheel Statics: Calculating Radial Force at 1m

Homework Statement

A Car sitting on a frame with an attached bar pressing down on the hinged section (Orange). A hinged section coming off the frame with a wheel attached (Blue)

How to calculate the radial force on the wheel bearing at 1m away from centre of engine?

Homework Equations

Statics, sum of the directions.

The Attempt at a Solution

I have split the engine weight into 2 and multiplied by the distance 1m to get 250kg.m

If I multiply 250kg by 9.81N I get 2.452kN of force.
I'm negating the bar pushing down because that will be set equal to the Fxd at that location, so I can ignore that for the wheel location?

How is 250kgm equal to 250kg even though it's 1m away? How do I convert this properly to get a force?

Can you explain why you calculated the torque? The torque would be trying to bend the frame and would be resisted by equal internal forces.

How about drawing a free body diagram just showing all the external forces?
