How to REMOVE AND REPLACE Mercedes Benz WHEEL HUB and WHEEL BEARINGS | Mercedes Benz S Class W220

- Wheel bearings can often times get overlooked. It’s easy to not think about wheel bearings as long as the car runs. We’re always taught that the most important things to service on the car are fluid changes, ignition maintenance, and brake care. Yet, wheel bearings are just as important. When wheel bearings fail, things can get ugly pretty quickly. So now that we have an awareness of wheel bearings, how do we go about changing them? There are two ways, buy a new pre-assembled hub which is usually very expensive, or buy a rebuild kit and rebuild your original hub. Until recently, rebuilding wheel hubs was the way to go. Now you can buy a brand new aftermarket wheel hub with bearings for less than a wheel hub rebuild kit! That means all you need to do is add grease and go!
In this DIY How to video that is exactly what we’ll be doing. I’ll show you how to prep your brand new wheel hub and get it ready for road use on your Mercedes Benz S Class S500 W220.
The good thing about the Mercedes Benz S500 W220 is that it’s very user friendly. Installing a new wheel hub that is already pre-assembled will be quite easy. There is one thing to consider though. That is measuring the end play for your wheel bearing hub.
Mercedes Benz allows for a tolerance of .01-.02 mm (.001 inch) of end play on your wheel hubs. That means that it’s very hard to measure this distance by feel. Good thing there are tools for measuring end play on your Mercedes Benz S Class S500 W220. The tools needed to measure end play on your Mercedes Benz wheel hub are a Dial Indicator and a Dial Indicator magnetic base. Both can be purchased for a good price and will give you peace of mind that you have installed your wheel hub correctly.
When it comes to choosing wheel bearing grease there are so many options to choose from. The best thing to consider when choosing a wheel bearing grease is to check the grease tube for the NLGI #2 label and that it is rated GC-LB. Also check the temperature rating to make sure it matches the application you will be using it for.
Now that we know it’s cheaper to buy a brand new wheel hub, and what tools to use to make sure we have our wheel hub on correctly, and what type of grease to use. Let’s get to work on installing this new wheel hub onto our Mercedes Benz along with our new grease and bring some more life into our cars!

FYI: The grease already in the hub from the factory is to prevent the raceway from rusting being as it is bare uncoated metal and easily oxidizes. You were correct in removing it and packing it with the correct bearing grease.
This guy nailed it. The best-detailed work coupled with a detailed explanation.Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! By adjusting the wheel hub nut as shown in this video, I was able to fix following symptoms: Brake Rotor Wobble/Steering wheel wobble coming to stop at stop signs, Suspension Wobble over potholes, Tire shoulders ripped on outsides both sides (Toe-in misalignment), Tire shoulder ripping up inside on the side with play in wheel hub adjustment (Toe-out misalignment). Thank you!
Good Video! Coincidentally, I was just thinking about replacing my own front wheel bearings. I had no idea I'd need a dial indicator to set the play in the wheel hub.. good thing I watched this!
Hi Jay Blasi, I'm glad you caught this video just in time haha! It's possible to set the end play by feel, but I find that using a dial indicator is much better and more reliable. Best of luck with your wheel bearing replacement. Cheers!
Great video, love to see someone that knows what he is doing.
Phenomenal! Really helped me with my W222 hub replacement and answered alot of questions
That's awesome Greg S!!! I'm so glad to hear the good news! 🙌It's always my pleasure 😊
Excellent video. Helped me do the job myself on both front wheels on my cl55 amg
Glad to hear that Gatsu3D2A! 🙌
Thumbs up for using the gauge to measure rotor/hub run-out
Hey man I just finished watching this video I had a problem on the wife’s car I wanted to thank you for all the information I really love this video I subscribe and ring the bell and now I’m addicted LOL keep up the good work it really helps guys like me appreciate it god bless and wish you the best.
Hello Edgar Mouret! Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate you subscribing to the channel. I'm glad to hear that this video was able to help you out. That means a lot to me. I'll definitely keep it up. God bless you brother! Cheers!
Great video... I love how you explain every little detail with torque specs... well done.!! Make more videos... your are some of the best out there.
Jason Finch relax its not that serious. He's good but, videos drag to long.
Well done,,,, you work like a heart sergeon . Thank you for this video
Holy shit, this walk through is a mine for learning things and technique about car repair. Thank you, i hope you make more of these.
Thanks Victor Sjuve! I'm glad you found this video helpful. I'll definitely continue to make more! :)
Some of the best descriptions i have heard
Hello Konard Wagner! Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it! :)
Great video!!! Details matter, integrity creates quality!!! 👍
Very informative, slow precise, patient. Well done video. I understand the different grease issue as I always question Mercedes and their products. as I have a 99 E320 and a 2015 ML 350, So being retired I always want what is best, yet shop and question. Again well done video.
Excellent video with really easy to follow instructions, probably one of the best videos I’ve seen. Being a novice and based on this video I would of been very happy to tackle the wheel bearings on my s350, until I saw the section with the adjustment device and setting the adjustment, this is where I wouldn’t know what I was doing, which is a shame as up to this point I would of had no problem replacing the wheel bearings on my car, but I guess there is no point being confident on 3 quarters of the job 😔 But still a great video 👍
Hello Rich Gille! Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad this video has inspired you. I can understand how you feel about the Dial Indicator. I believe you can do it though. My advice would be just to play with the dial indicator on other objects to get a feel for how to use it. Once you get the hang of it then try it on the wheel bearing again. One thing to note is that the digital version is a lot easier to use and it's just as accurate. I hope you give your wheel bearing project another try and I'd love to hear how things went for you. Cheers!
Hello from Russia! Благодарю ! Толковое видео. У нас говорят - делал как самому себе ( ремонтировал свою машину). Приятно видеть как человек с любовью относится к своей работе !
Excellent video. The only one I've found with the older bearing setup.
Excellent video !
Many thanks......all the way from London.
Very good video. You explained things great. I understand what you did with the dial caliber, but is it really necessary to dial it in? I've always tightened the nut and then back it off a tiny bit and never had issues? I am a machinist so I do get the indicator.
Really awesome video. Thanks dude 👍🏼
Thank you. Liked and subscribed ❤
Another great video. when your wheel hub was bad did you notice a rubbing sort of noise while turning the steering wheel with the brakes depressed? I think mine is bad because I have some iffy steering and it makes a clicking noise when I move the wheel up and down... I can also hear this click when going over lane seperator bumps.
Hello Dnasty1, Thank you for the kind words. I didn't notice a rubbing or clicking sound. You might have a much bigger problem than just bad wheel bearings. I recommend taking your car to a trusted certified Mercedes Benz mechanic to have it checked out. I hope this helps. Cheers!
I was wondering how does your hub come off so easily? I've seen a number of videos where they need huge pneumatic devices to pull these hubs off. I live in socal and even if my rotors are fairly new they get seized on and require a puller... do you think I will struggle with the hub itself? I have a 2010 e550. Also just curious on your opinion I purchased moog complete wheel hubs with everything and it seems they greased it as well.. is this sufficient or should I put my own grease on these items? @@GarageDynamics
Great detailed work and explanation!
Do you have a front hub installation on Mercedes w222. Mine is 2019 s560. Had a front tire blow out and the rotor got damaged. I replaced the rotor but while driving I hear sound coming from the left front wheel. I am wondering if my hun is damaged and how to replace it. Thanks for your time.
A useful video, nice to see the attention to cleaning and prep.
You you can buy the correct Fuchs Renolit LX PEP 2 green bearing grease from any decent engineers merchant.
It's always worth removing the ABS / Speed sensor and giving the sensor body ight coat of grease before refitting. Use new bolts if the current ones are not perfect.
Thank you LD Services Ltd. I'm glad you appreciate this video and thank you for letting me know where I can get the Renolit grease. I think I ended up ordering it from Canada. I will definitely check around my area for engineering merchants. Thank you for the ABS / Speed sensor, and bolt tips as well!
Thank you for the best video clip! you are the professional guy, thanks again!!!!!! :)
You're are very welcome John Klahan!
super well explained! Thank you
wonderful lighting and explanation. It looks like my MBZ is missing the small hub torx bolt that you put in. Any idea where I can find one of those?
+1. .. Informative, well done. .. Ready to tackle the w124 coupe bearing service.
Thank you Michael Schneider! Have fun! Cheers! :)
great video thank you! but do you know if the 2009 S550 4 matic is the same way
Hello Getreal!!, Thank you! I can't say for sure if the 2009 S550 4 matic is the same. There might be some slight differences due to the fact that the car is 4 matic, but again, I'm not quite sure. I would ask the members on www.mbworld.org for their advice. They should be able to help you. I hope this helps. Cheers!
Do we really need to use that gauge at the end? Can we just send it to the shop for adjustment if needed?
That last nut on the bearing is that what holds everything together including your wheels?
Hello A.I, As far as I know, yes. I'll look deeper into it. But we can cover it together. What do we know so far? We have the knuckle and that connects to the upper strut and lower control arm. Then the knuckle terminates at the shaft. From the shaft we have the wheel hub. The wheel hub rest on the wheel bearings and the wheel bearings rest on the shaft. This is what allows the wheels to rotate. Then next we have the brake rotor, that is supported by the wheel hub. Now we thread on the shaft locking nut which holds the wheel hub onto the spindle shaft, the hub holds the brake rotor and the wheels are mounted to the brake rotor which threads through to the wheel hub. The whole reason we adjust end play on the wheels is because the nut isn't adjusted to spec (too loose) which means that the nut is holding the whole wheel in place. If I made an error somewhere please correct me :)
Hey bro where is your shop, you in California, I need wheel bearings on my yr 2000 e55, I shake the raised wheel at the top to bottom and got some play, I guess that's wheel bearings.
Uauu. That is a nice job. Not too difficult. Scary to see that the entire tyre relies on 1 alan key screw:)
Thank you Petkus Cinta, It's a very easy job, just requires patience and time. Haha! Yes, very true :)
Ahhh no ahhhhh
Where did you buy the hub and bearing you used in the video ?
Hi,The video is really informative.Thank you very much.I just changed the hub.The previous hub was turning crooked.But the wheel hub I just installed is turning crooked.What part is causing this to turn curved?
Thank you very much due this is a future task. I know it’s a bold vid but what was the meter called. I’m in a noisy environment.
You're very welcome Carlton Ramsey! The meter is called a dial indicator. I hope this helps! Cheers!
Nice tutorial. I just did it on my w204, because the wheel hat little play, the car has 200 thousand km, i think it was about time. I set the gap to 0.01mm. One thing i did differently, i added way more grease in it. Literally filled the hub from inside. What is your opinion, too much grease can do harm? My thought was, it's better to have more grease than too little... The back seal ring supposed to keep it inside, away from ABS sensor, the outer cap will keep it inside as well. And the bearings will get enough grease if they need to. What is your opinion, can i leave it like that or should i take it apart and take out a little bit of grease? Thanks
Hello A.F. That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to change your bearings and hubs. Regarding grease. Too much won't hurt but it's not needed. The most important thing is that the bearings are packed with grease and not just coated with grease. I hope this helps. Cheers!
@@GarageDynamics Too much grease will definately hurt, you never over grease any bearing , as the bearing will slide through the grease and not rotate correctly, overgreasing is as bad as undergreasing
Very good how-to video.
A few comments:
1. You did not check the condition of the old bearings and races which might have indicated that all that was needed was cleaning and new lubrication, rather than replacement of the bearings.
2. There should not be grease outside of the grease seal on the inside of the hub.
3. You might also want to check runout on the contact surface of the rotor after remounting it on the hub.
4. Mercedes manual says to set runout of bearing by loosening the nut beyond the set-point, and then tightening the nut to its final position, as a more reliable method of achieving the final setting.
And if you use a short piece of soft wood molding as a drift on the raised rim of the dust cover, your can re-install the dust cover without denting it.
This is a good job to do when you change brake rotors.
Interesting video. But if you don't trust the manufacturer's choice of grease for the bearings and hub, why are you putting the part on your car? That said, in fairness, the hub and bearings in this video look great.
And its good to finally see someone use a dial indicator to properly set the tension on their bearings. Keep up the good work.
And don't forget blue Loctite on brake bolts before torquing them. And anti-seize grease on the mating surfaces of the hub and roter and rotor and wheel to prevent rust, so you can get things apart next time.
Where did you buy the bearing from can we get a link ?
Great video. Thank you
Where did you purchase this already assembled?
This is the best wheel bearing video I have found! One question: Do you need to add any silicone sealant on the hub cap?
This is a year old, but no. Replace the cap dry.
I liked the video. However, aren't you supposed to fill the dust cap with a specific weight of grease? I believe for easy measuring it's about half full.
Hello James S, Thank you! In regards to filling the dust cap with grease. It's not necessary to do so. You can add a small amount of grease if you wold like. However, it is more necessary to fill the inside of the wheel hub with grease between the two bearings. That's where the bearings will draw extra grease from if needed. I hope this helps.
when measuring the end play and holding the rotor are you pushing it forwards and backwards or left and right
Does it works with the 2019-2022 Mercedes Sprinter 2500? Thanks.
So I did all this but adjusted it by hand and also based off your wheel bearing from when you tightened it and your final result it gives me a rough idea on how much difference it should go back, but I’ve had the weirdest problem and I’ve replaced the pads and rotor and wheel bearing hub assembly, but when I accelerate past 50 the front right wheel vibrates they’re short quick vibrations, sort of how it feels to drive over the shoulder bumps on a highway it stops when I stop accelerating hard, but returns when I try to accelerate more than 5% on throttl at that speed. I don’t know what else to replace I’ve adjusted the wheel bearing to tight then to loose ish then to what I think it should be and same result, it’s been a month for trying to figure it out
Three things I can think of
The wheel bearing neeeeds to be tighter to the exact spec and can’t possibly be any more or less and that’s why I’m getting my vibration/shake
The spindle that hold the bearing might have possibly bent the slightest from the previous wheel bearing being bad
Or finally the spring popped out a little on one edge and when I put it back in I pushed it back in wrong and the spring is an important part somehow idk what it does
Hello Elian Moreno, Sorry to hear about your wheel situation. The most common sign that your wheel bearing nut is loose, is wobble in the steering wheel. You will notice this wobble at almost any speed. The steering wheel will wobble more if the bearings are really loose. If your wheel bearing is tight but still slightly out of spec, then you will experience a small wobble. More similar to a steering wheel vibration. If your wheel bearing nut is tightened to spec then you will not feel any movement in your steering wheel. So, if your steering wheel is solid and does not move while driving then you can rule out a loose wheel bearing nut. It's possible that the wheel hub itself is not seated correctly. Maybe there is some gap or obstruction in the way? Also, have you looked at the rubber between your harmonic balancer? If it's bad that could be a cause of the vibration. I would suggest to remove the wheel hub again and reinstall everything from the beginning again. If that does not help, I would suggest asking the people on www.mbworld.org for solutions, or visiting a local certified Mercedes-Benz mechanic. I hope this helps.
@@elianangelmoreno Those are all possibilities as well.
Good news everyone! No longer do you have to waste time rebuilding your wheel hubs! You can now buy a Wheel hub replacement with bearings for cheaper than the price of a rebuild kit! Please let me know in the comments what your experience has been like when you decided to replace or rebuild your wheel hubs. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers!
Where do I buy it from?
Where do i buy it i need it rush
Where can I get a complete hub for my w123
most informative and detailed guide ,,,,Thanks for the video,,,calm cool and collective.
@@peterdoolan1664 You're welcome! Thank you for the kind words as well!
So I have a 4matic S500, my front hub assembly doesn't look like this?
Correct??
Hello Aaron Pope, The 4matics could be different since they use an all wheel drive system. I'm not entirely sure on the mater. I would suggest you reach out to the people at www.mbworld.org or your local certified Mercedes mechanic for more information. I hope this helps. Cheers!
There out of stock NOOOOOOooooooo lol of the hub. Great video
Good morning. Do you have any idea if the left and right hub are interchangeable? I assumed it wouldn’t make a difference, I need to replace mine on the right side of my car. Every part I have found to fit is listed as ‘left’....
Hello Chocoletchiccc! The hubs are interchangeable. Meaning there isn't a left and a right side. The most important things to consider is that you place the small bearing race in the hub correctly because it is tapered. Also, you want to make sure you install the wheel hub assembly facing the correct way and that you have the proper end play. I hope this helps. Cheers!
Were did u buy the wheel bear hub frm??
Hello dappadon2754, I have the link in my description. Please let me know if you have any other questions
i need a rear right hub assembly but i cant find one. question can i buy a front rear and will it work on the rear?
Where did you get the hub from?
Hello cherybabybaby1, I bought the hub from RM European.
Dont fully understand around 25:49 can we just tighten them up and use dial indicator to check the play?
You can buy the wheel bearing kit from Mercedesc for about $50 including the approved alien green grease. Go to any machine shop to get the new races replaced for cheap. Bada bing bada boom. And I would use brake cleaner not degreaser whatever that is.
Thanks for the info Kit Kat!
I don’t have a torque wrench that specified weight , when I put that lock nut on if I do it hand tight then back it off 1/4 turn am I going to have issues?
Hello Donny Foster. Unfortunately I can't say for sure since we all have different strengths and my definition of hand tight may be different than yours. I would highly recommend using a torque wrench. It maybe be possible to borrow one from your local auto parts store. I just don't want you to not apply enough torque and have your nut come loose while you're driving.
@@GarageDynamics something terrible happened, I went to change the hub bearing, and the spindle was spinning with the locking nut, it was moving about 1/8 inch in and out, so I whacked it with a hammer to get it off only because I already knew it was screwed, the old bearing idk what could of possibly happen the car was driving absolutely fine then abs lights went on. Long story short the oval balls that the bearing spins around all fell out, the back end of the bearing somehow fused to the back end of the spindle. So I had to order steering knuckle with spindle 🤦🏼♂️, I have no idea how that happen I had no warning at all. It’s a 2010 e350 only 91k miles I bought it for 9500, body mint I had no issues besides this. I’m debating on selling it for 15k I just put 1000$ into this car past month it’s been on the shelf
@@GarageDynamics how would the torque wrench fit around the locking nut? No socket is rounded like that, or just use crescent wrench shape torque? I’m not even sure they make them but that’s only thing I can think of that would fit around the flat end
@@donnyfoster1859 Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that... I'm glad you're okay and no further damage was done to the car. You got a great deal on your nice car. I would definitely keep it. Also, you could try contacting the place where you purchased the hub from to see if they will give you another one.
@@donnyfoster1859 My apologies. I thought you were talking about the hex bolt that tightens the locking nut. For the locking nut, that is tightened by hand in very very small increments and is checked with a dial indicator for proper run out (tightness).
Great video
I am so confused on seating the hub part. How do you know it’s seated?
Very good
Thank you Tembekile Joyi
i just saw your ultra sonic cleaner. exactly the same i have. mine doesnt work anymore. whats the issue? mine doesnt switch on anymore or just sometimes...
I think the transducers finally went out. It worked for a bit when I cleaned the plug connection, but died shortly after the video. I bought a new one off of amazon and it's great! I'll put a link in the description for you. Cheers!
Would this work on a 08 ml63? Do I need to do the last step? I was following pretty well until that last step.
Hello Guitarphil11! I'm not sure. I would check with everyone on the forums over at www.mbworld.org just to make sure. The last step that requires the use of the dial indicator tool is important because it prevents you from over tightening or under tightening the locking nut. The digital dial indicator make things a lot easier because you can set it to MM. This skips the US to Metric conversion step. I hope this helps. Cheers!
Where did you buy your parts from and does it fit the s500 sedan
Awesome breakdown. Where are you located
any idea if torque specs are similar for a w210 e class? I cant seem to find them anywhere
Hello VonGutenburgen Steinenhoffer! I'm not sure what the torque specs would be for the w210 e class. I would suggest asking some of the members on www.mbworld.org. Another method would be to find the size of the bolt and research the general torque value for that size fastener. Here is a link for calculating torque specs for bolts. Just measure your bolt size and input the information into the calculator.
www.fastenal.com/en/83/torque-calculator
I would also recommend that you check with your local Mercedes Benz tech regarding information on torque values for your car.
I hope this helps. Cheers!
From where can I request it
I got outer and inner bearing for $25 I wanted to keep genuine hub
Where is this kit purchasable from?
great video
How long did this take in real time
Hello Mr. Côté, I would say about 2 to 3 hours. I'm sure it could be done faster, but I like to take my time and enjoy the process :)
Where did you buy the optimal bearing products from?
Is this process similar for 2007 Cls550? Please help.
Hello Ryan Dolce, I can't say for sure if it is. I would ask the people in the forums over at www.mbworld.org They will know for sure. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Can you adjust the nut WITH the Caliper ON?
Where is the best place to purchase the hub
Hello Paul Tronchin! The best place would be www.rmeuropean.com and www.autohausaz.com
is there an American distributor or do you have to buy direct?
Hello Akira Cornell! Yes, you can purchase the wheel bearings from RM European. www.rmeuropean.com/Products/2203300725-MFG842-V4003.aspx
Also try, AutohausAZ. www.autohausaz.com/pn/30945
I hope this helps. Cheers!
Where to buy these kit Skips??
Wow! So Gooooooood!
Thank you for the kind words! :)
Did you order a whole new bearing ??
Hello Jack C, Yes, I ordered a whole new bearing and hub. It is possible to just order the internal bearings and reuse the main factory hub assembly.
@@GarageDynamics thank you for responding would I have to get someone to use a press for this or do I order the whole assembly Remove old replace new ?
@@jackc2498 You're welcome! You can just remove the wheel hub assembly without a press. Just remove old and replace with new.
Love the video
Well now im gona doo my self thx
How can the hub be removed so easily? Without Any effort needed? Will the wheel fly out during running? Only a nut is already enough to hold the wheel, the brake disc and everything? Is this true? or just a show? This can be very misleading. See other videos, how much effort they spent to remove the bearing out from the hub
According to Mercedes documentation required clearance is 0,01- 0,02 mm

Its much easier than pressing new bearings with makeshift tools. But here, a new bearing set is 14 euro. A complete hub from Delphi or Febi Bilstein is 186. The Optimal is 132.
Thanks bro
I hate to say it but that store no longer offers this hub assembly.
very good
I missed why you bought a new Hub.
Packing the bearings by hand like you are doing is one way, and works good.
There are bearings packers that work well also. I keep mine in a Coffee can to keep it clean.
I have also seen people use a Zip lock sandwich bag to work the grease in the bearing.
The Grease Seal should not have been installed into the Hub. Trying to put grease in the bearing with the Seal installed isn`t such a good idea. Should have done it like the outer bearing. Actually the Bearing and Seal should have been in separate packages in the Hub Box.
Trying to remove the new seal and reuse will damage it.
Bearings should have been washed to remove the factory grease, Iam 80 and all my years always read/heard to not mix greases.
If the old bearings have not been let go and run dry, they can be cleaned and reused. Just check for pitting of the bearings and race`s., and bearing Cage`s.
New Bearings with Race`s and new Grease seal`s are not all that expensive.
RMEuropean site you posted, just look up your year car.
Did mine, 82 240D W123, and they are $30 - $40 or so a set.
When I buy an older used car, I just replace it all with new for peace of mind.
Most all the Mercedes have the same Wheel bearing set up.
You detailed and explained use of the Dial Indicator was great.
When replacing the Calipers, use new Lock Tight on the Bolts.
Thank you Sir!
Il n'y a aucune indication, je pense, pour expliquer qu'il faut mettre une autre qualité de graisse.
Sur ma 320 CDI classe E II, de 2002, le roulement était un peu graissé. J'ai rajouté une bonne quantité de la graisse lithium... J'espère ne pas avoir fait d'erreur.
THANK YOU for this video! You're about to save me over $900 in labor costs! The one question I have is:
How necessary is the very last step with the dial machine for play? Is that something I can go without?
If you use a shifting spanner as heavy as his, just let the weight of the spanner set the final adjustment with the spanner at 3 o'clock. check for any play by hand and there should be no play at all. test fit the wheel and re check for play and if none, tighten the hex key 👍😊
What about removing a wheel bearing on a Mercedes Benz s430 2002 anyone ?!
Who is the manufacturer of this hub? Easy way to grease those bearings is to stuff them in a small plastic bag with grease and press it in.
You know your video ist contaminated with dozens of commercials?
20 minutes longer than it should have been.
I know its the front should specify it in the title.
Dude, use paint brush instead of hand apply sp 400 before apply grease.sp 400 is corrosion inhibitor.
that small bearing is for gaint ass S class ?(a very heavy girl) no wonder newer cars break more often, thats planned obsolescence right in front of ya
Hello Meyaw Abdulaziz! They sure don't make things like they used to, but the S Class (This particular model) is built very well and she can handle her weight with the best of them :)
So just buy the OEM bearings with oem grease and call it a day.
The only way you should replace the bearing with Chinese junk is if you're going to sell it immediately.
You're not going to get the quality of the German bearing which lasted hundreds of thousands of miles. It pays for itself.
