Does anyone have a write up or video of how to r&r the rear wheel bearings? I have been searching off and on for weeks and havent seen anything on the interwebs including mbworld. I am about to tackle the fronts now which are simple enough. Hoping to get the rears done today as well if someone could point me in the right direction.

215 has to be replaced with press like the front or holds with that clip 25
216 replace the part

It’s a 215. My mistake.

Thank you for that!

I did the fronts tonight and now I have ABS and ESP malfunctions accompanied by stiff steering. I had the battery unplugged because I was working on something with the stereo this evening as well. Never seen these errors before after working with any of these components. Any idea the cause?

I had the same issue. The tone ring on the front is very sensitive to anything that throws the hub out of spec even a small fraction.

My fix was to just purchase new front hubs which come with the bearings installed.
