How do you get the old races out of the hub, any secrets short of dynamite?
I have a 300SD and need to replace front wheel bearings. I did one side but the other is a bear. THey are not budging
The bearing failure was sudden. Driving down the road heard this noise and then vibration. Jacked car up when I got home and wheel spin was not smooth. Almost like it was catching. Removed hub and noticed that the grease was very black and smelled funny. I think the last time I had rotors done the mechanics must have screwed something up. I mean 2 bearing failures (each side) within 150 miles of each other. Does not make sense. Only 156K on the car.
Anway back to my question , any advice on the race removal? I got some MB green grease and ready to pack new bearings (tips for this process) Do I have to replace the race?
Thanks in advance
