'19 AMG E53 Cpe, '23 EQS 580 SUV, '89 560SL, '35 Ford 5w coupe, '53 MGTD and others

They are old school tapered roller bearings like just about every car since the dawn of time, at least just like our '35 Ford. There should be all sorts of diys on the interweb. Just don't crank them tight, they need a slight amount of axial freeplay.
