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.
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.
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.
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.

This once again shows the great engineering in these cars.
They are definitely very well built cars.

Thanks, I appreciate hearing that.
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.
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

@@CarswithNash Yeah water based and I def err on the side of more rather than less as well!
Wow that looks alot prettier than mine
I see my old roasting pan is very useful....lol!
Indeed!(-:
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...
