Diesel RVs: [diesel_mercedes] Re : front wheel bearing replacement

This is a simple if filthy job ;

You'll need to jack up and safely block the car ,get a long drift and a cheap metal not plastic bearing & seal installer , use only black molybiumdisulfide bearing grease .

Minimum 32 Oz. ballpien hammer , I use a 7 # one .

First thing , find a quiet place & jack up each front wheel and spin it by hand ~ the bad one will make a deep rumbling noise , maybe faint .
