Rear Wheel Bearing Likely Going Out

Have a noise that sounds like a rear wheel bearing. I need to verify that is the case soon.
I've searched around and haven't found any posts about rear wheel bearing replacement on the GLC300 base model (2017). I've seen some YouTube videos that might be similar but they are other MB models. Anyone know what other models may have the same rear suspension/wheel hub/bearing assembly? That would alllow me to expand my search.
I wrench on my cars a lot but I'm curious if there are any gotcha's (if I'm looking at some valid videos it appears an arbor press will be needed to press the new bearing onto the hub for example).

Thanks for any info in advance

Rick

This is not full instruction. I never replaced the rear bearing. But I did the front bearing.

Rear wheel bearing part is selling only bearing. So probably you need to press out the old bearing from the hub frange and press in the new one.

GLC300 E300 S450 CLS uss the same part.

when i replaced one of front bearing. I had to hit many times with a hammer and the chisel to detach the bearing from the hub.

I attached the rear picture I took when I replaced the brake rotor.

Hope you find the right video.

Rear bearing has no frange.

rear wheel bearing instruction might be similar. Except the parking brake is shoe style, not motorized. I am not sure details are the same, though.

Would be great if someone found a DYI text / video for this. As I understand it, the wheel bearing is mounted with bolts and no pressing tool should be necessary. I have a humming noise from the rear and according to the Indy its the left wheel bearing, even if its hard to locate the noise inside the cabin.

Yes rear wheel bearing is 4 bolts. If you have a skinny Etorx you can unbolt it without removing any suspension links.

Found a video here for rear bearing on glc:

Would of course be nice to avoid removing the knuckle.

Here is one on a similar MB, without remove the knuckle:
