How to use dial gauge bearing service

I mentioned in a post last night reguarding how simple was it to replace brakes . that I wanted to also change the brake pads in my 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300-E M103 ,but also repack the front wheel bearing as well.
Now I am a novis and this forum has taught me a lot about the world of Mercedes-Benz and how to properly service them Right!!

I have NO knoledge as to how to use a dial gauge to set the preload which I see in mentioned here in my return post and in the work shop manual. I am not going to start something that could jepordize the safety of my wife and my self and the mechnical reliability of this car.

I ask not to pose a requested for a manual of unnessary return post, but to fine prehaps a book that I can read that goes into dept on the use of a dial gauge to meassure preload when doing front bearing services on automobiles.

The only thing I do request is a brand of dial gauge and what accessories to look for to fit my 92 300-E? Other than that I donot want to be wasting anyones valueble time in writing me a term paper on this subject. I can learn my self and donot mine reading or buying the write tools to do the job.

Best Regards & a safe and speedy return of our military from over seas.
