- I show you step by step how to replace or repack front wheel bearings on a Mercedes W124, I demonstrate on my 1989 300 CE but the same procedure will apply to all Mercedes W124's.

This once again shows the great engineering in these cars.
They are definitely very well built cars.
just about to do this job on my w201. thanks so much Matt, one of the best videos on youtube for this procedure. I like how you're to the point and don't waste time blabbering on like some do.
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that.
I have an 87 300d that's pulling to the right and has a low hum thats louder on turns. seems like a wheel bearing to me. I think I'm just going to do both sides at the same time because I have to do the brakes anwyays. Thanks for making the video it was really helpful.
Correct grease should be bright green. But this is a helpful video as i’m currently rebuilding the hubs and replacing bearings on a W116
Perhaps the correct OEM grease is but the grease I used is perfectly suitable for this application, I looked into it. I’ve put 10,000 km on since this video, no issues.
Wow that looks alot prettier than mine
Man where do you live? In my country here is near 40 Gradus C and i see you are in cold. Good video, it applies on many Benz cars of that era.
I see my old roasting pan is very useful....lol!
Indeed!(-:
Very interesting lock nuts! If the seals are cheap enough I try to keep a few on hand, hahaha. If you ever get to try Oil Eater degreaser, I highly recommend it. Might be worth it to buy a cheap bearing punch set sometime. Most bearing manufacturers say your empty space in the bearing and housing should be 1/3 to 1/2 full of grease, I think some say up to 60% too. There has to be some free space for optimal function. Always a pain when you have to undo work because of wrong parts. Great job as always.
Is that a water based degreaser? My problem is I don’t have running water in my shop so I normally steer clear of any water based products for that reason. Yeah that’s probably about how much I packed in there about 60%, I error on the side of more because it’s a cooler climate here and the grease doesn’t flow like it would in a warm place.
@@CarswithNash Yeah water based and I def err on the side of more rather than less as well!
ola cual es el numero o codigo de los bearing???
A bearing kit is $23….. lmao
I bought new bearings, did you not watch the entire video...?
Also not everyone lives in the US, so no $23 wouldn't even cover the shipping...
