I don't know if the hub is sold new, you can call Toll-Free 1-888-333-4642 to find out. You may need to find a used one, or if you want new, contact the classic center in Irvine CA.

Awesome, thanks Tom! I think i'll order 2 wheel bearing kits.. Do you know if it will come with installation instructions? If not, do you perhaps know where i can find such instructions? Thanks again, and yeah - i figured there would be a site sponsor that would might carry it, just didn't know which links to click.

Fitting these successfully is something which needs to be done with care.

Yeah, it certainly looks like it... hmmmm. What book is that information from? I'd really like to own a shop manual for the benz, for times exactly like this. Do you have any high resolution images of the wheel bearing replacement section? Or know where i can get the same book online? Thanks guys, i do appreciate it!

You won't find this in paper very easily($$$$) but the mercedes Classic Center in Irvine.Ca. sells it in CD form for around $20US. If you do your own work you Must buy one .
