No they don't. Well I don't know about all of them, but I replaced the rotors on my '87 wagon and I didn't touch the bearings.

When I did my W123's brakes the hub had to come off the spindle( remove cap, remove castle nut, etc) and put the disc in a vice and remove the hub. Then bolt on new disc to hub. The W124 is just a stupid easy removal. Remove caliper then that allen bolt and it comes off. No need for removing anything else. I really like that the W124 brakes are like that since having to deal with the whole hub assemble, bearings, new grease seal is such a pain and a lot of extra work. |

Does a dirty bearing cause humming before it goes out?
Im asking because i have such humming on the rear of my w116 sometimes. |

Jack the car up(have the front wheels chocked), put it on stands.
Make sure the car is secure then grab the tire on each side and check for play. Just try and move it left and right. Any play is sign of a bad bearing. |

In addition to checking side/side play or top/bottom play by grabbing the wheel and rocking it..
With the whole car jacked up on the pads, or wheel jacked up, car in neutral, put one hand on the spindle and turn the wheel with you other hand. If you feel something gritty, rough, lumpy, or vibrations on that spindle inspect bearings.
