Very thorough instructions. A couple of comments, though: 1) Setting the preload of the bearings with a dial gauge is critical. According to MB, the hub should be tightened so that it moves between 0.01 and 0.02 mm when pulled back and forth axially--no more and, critically, no less (too tight will cause damage much quicker than a bit too loose). I admit that I thought myself I could set the runout manually using approx. the method shown here--after all I had done this on bicycles with good results. Yet the dial gauge revealed that I was mistaken. Although I had backed off the adjusting nut carefully and although the hub turned freely and smoothly, the preload turned out to be too tight. After having corrected it with the dial gauge, there was NO difference that I could perceive, which illustrates that these adjustment tolerances are so small that one should not believe one could detect them manually. By the way, with the bearings freshly greased, it does not harm to check the preload again after some time (perhaps after 100 miles). 2) One tube of MB grease for two sides IS sufficient. MB specifies filling each hub with 55 grams of grease. Twice this amount plus the grease needed to pack all the bearings plus some extra grease for the dust cap amounts to just about 150g. 3) 150k on these bearings is not extraordinary--in fact they should not need replacement after such mileage. My original bearings and races were in great shape after 200k, so back in they went with fresh grease, and PROPERLY adjusted. If I were to replace them, however, I would not use Meyle parts. Often, Meyle parts are quite OK, but in this case I would definitely go with the OE quality SKF or FAG bearings--the price difference, if there is even any, would not be worth it.

@Henry Discipline I bought 2 sets of Meyle bearings. One of the inner bearings was so tight I had to struggle with it to get it on. The second set installed on the other side was OK. Ended up destroying the seal when I finally got it off. Replaced them with Timkin and the hub slipped on like a glove. The Meyle bearing was not machined correctly. I will never buy Meyle bearings again. Have used Timkin bearings many times on tractor trailer rigs and never ever had this problem. This is one situation, in my opinion, where an American made product is much better and reliable choice. You can get Timkin bearings for your MB at Rock Auto.com.

You are absolutely correct on both accounts Sir. I thought I was a whiz until I bought a electronic indicator gauge to check my handy work. It soon became apparent that it is beyond human capabilities to "feel" the Mercedes bearing tolerance of .01mm - .02mm when setting the bearing nut. note: In playing with the indicator gauge against my fingernail, trying to apply the same .01mm - .02mm was all but impossible. As far as the grease, it can be too much of a good thing if it prevent bearings from functioning properly and leads to heat build-up, vibration and a shortened bearing life.

In my opinion, the inner bearing looks fine, with no discoloration or scoring on the bearing surface of the tapered roller bearings evident in the quick view at 12:15 of the video, and the races also look fine in the quick glimpses at around 13:05 of the video. I suggest buying some mild steel punches or drifts to pound out the grease seal and bearing races.

Complete hub aftermarket assemblies from FCP Euro are about $155 each, while the bearing kits are $42 each. So, for the $236 price difference for both sides, you can save time, risk of damage, and the cost of a shop press. While I love saving money and doing as much of my own work as I can, sometimes it's not worth it. Can you provide the part number of the kit from HarborFreight? They don't show the one you used. Also, to your point, the MB wheel grease is $6.44 per tube at FCP and well worth going with for such a rarely performed service.

I've not had time yet to do a lot of research into this but I read at either mbworld or benzworld that someone else had the problem and it that something had to be either reset or calibrated. I do have to get this done soon because here in Connecticut we have inspections and there can be NO CEL lights on.

In my case I have investigated a bit further with the webshop I bought my bearingkits from and it seems like the kit I purchased actually doesn´t have the magnetic ring in the inner seal needed for the rpm sensor in the spindle to sense speed. So I will try to get them to send me the right ones that have this ring and replace the seals (again). Apperently these kits show up very often as compatible for this car model, but is infact not. It is the same bearing kit for cars that have hubs with toothed rings on them for the abs / speed sensor, except that the seal is not magnetic... which in my case screws up the entire system... I will see if I get those and replace them and see what the outcome is...

I've ordered wheel bearings from FCPEuro and when they come in my neighbor and I will install them. I have an 01 e320 with 152k miles. I did this job about 20 years ago on my 85 300d. It had over 250k miles. Those spindle clamp/nuts do not spring out after that long and after releasing the locking screw they stayed clamped onto the spindle. You need a large wrench to turn them at that point. You cannot hand turn them back on. As a result I ended up overtightening them and destroying the new bearings after just a few thousand miles. Not good! The hub got so hot on one side my new brake rotors would not come off and the whole suspension assembly had to be replaced. I am going to attempt this job again and hope that spindle nut will turn off and on by hand. I will have to purchase another tube of Mercedes grease because only one comes with the bearing kit and some antiseize. I will have to go back to see if that seal is in the kit.

Excellent video. However, comment about not being able to use too much grease is false. At high revolutions the grease in the bearings have to have a place to go. When "overloaded" with grease, the grease itself interferes with the bearings and generates heat and vibration, often shortening the life of the bearing. note: Suggesting yourself a surgeon is a reach considering your overgrown finger nails and the much needed manicure that awaits before your next operation...

Not enough turns done on the hub; at least one full revolution for each roller is needed for proper seating.. it takes to be safe 5-7 full hub revolitions for that. Best practise for setting play or pre tension is to measure resistence using an unster and set to factory/maintenance handbook/workshop manual data. This by hand method is good enough for this application though, provided hub made enough revolutions to set bearings..here it didn't.

Good job but you can improve it Try to someone else to help you to record the video while you are mounting those inner and outer tapered roller bearings. I don't see a thing how they were mounting. Anyway nice video. Thanks a lot.

Great that you still have your fingers! Next time at least disconnect connector to SBC, otherwise you risk with your health!
