REAR Wheel Bearing

I searched an everything I see is for the front so if I missed it, please bear with me.

How difficult is it to replace the rear wheel bearing on a facelifted E320? It appears to be bolt in unless I'm looking at the replacement part wrong. Any info for me?

Which bearing are you talking about--the double row out of the wheel carrier or the inner race off the rear axle flange??

If what you mean as bolt on, to mean plug and play------I would do some consideably more searching/reading before you attempt this on the drive way!!

The rear wheel bearings in the 210 Chassis E-Class are friction-fit (press-in) bearings. They will require the use of a press (either hydraulic or manual) which is capable of generating the force needed to remove the old bearing and install the new bearing, as well as the ability to re-install the wheel hub into the bearing once the bearing is pressed into the wheel carrier.

We have several brands of rear wheel bearing kits available for this car HERE, or by clicking on the image of the wheel bearing kit below. The six gold-colored bolts that you see included in the kit are actually CV axle bolts which secure the CV axle to the axle flange at the differential. The other hardware are brake caliper bracket securing bolts, a brake rotor securing screw and the CV axle nut, which is at the wheel hub, along with the wheel bearing retaining clip as well as axle flange bolt spacers.
