[diesel_mercedes] Re: w126-- jealous at the other end? front wheel bearing replacement

 

I remembered seeing a pretty in-depth tutorial on this a while back. A little digging and I found it, but it's for rear...still looks useful though :)

Re: [diesel_mercedes] w126-- jealous at the other end? front wheel bearing replacement

 

I think I saw a MercedesSource You Tube video (or someone else) on the subject. Pull them up and do a search on their database. Come to think of it, didn't I post a "front end" video from them 2 weeks ago?

So.. Agnes is wanting more love.

The last week, I've noticed a high pitched whine above 75mph..

Yeah, I said 75.. Ohio Turnpike is 70.. Travel under that at your own risk..

Having just had the entire rear end essentially rebuilt, I'm almost sure it's a passenger front wheel bearing. It would explain what I thought was a "warped rotor" thumping, when I stop, as well. ;)

That said-- any good tutorials on this?? Mine's an 84 without ABS.. It's cold as crap out right now, and I'll want to make this as quick as possible.. And probably buy, but not DO the driver's side until Spring.. Or at least a warmer part of winter..

It'll be Zero F'n degrees in the morning (-18 celcius ;) ). The glow's all checked out, and I brought a "second" battery, for a little extra "humph..." The place I thought I could plug in my block heater isn't a working outlet.. (Must call hospital maintence about this!)
