I saw your post but did not know if my 82 300D was like your car or not. I was able to replace my drive axels but not my wheel bearings. It appears like a rather difficult job. (I replaced a pair of hubs on a 76 vette and don't ever want to get into that again.) Do you know if the SD and W123 have the same rear wheel bearing assembly? If it does would you now let me know how you replaced yours? Thank you.

Rick, hubs are removed with "special tool" from the rear of the hub after you take drive axels out. Same as what you use to remove hubs from 4WD vehicles. Come in different sizes and just happened to have the right one. Don't know if your car is the same, though. Everything else on these cars is so simple and straight-forward I was stumped at first when I took the wheel apart. Thanks for replying.
