I'm trying to replace the rear left wheel hub. I have removed brake rotor. I haven't removed the rotor cover or the brake shoes because it doesn't look like it would impede me from removing the wheel hub. I also can't attach a sliding hammer to eventually remove the wheel hub because the hub holes are messed up from the tire shops. Any guidance or advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

You can't remove the hub without damaging the bearing behind it. Remove the rear wheel carrier and take it to an auto parts machine shop and have it properly removed and installed.

Buy parts before removal.

Hey Maj, you wouldn't happen to have a step by step on how to remove the rear wheel carrier? My apologies for the annoying question sir.

Maj. Dundee

Here are the instructions. Don't buy cheap parts, you don't want to do this twice.

Thank you for the instructions sir. Do you have the instructions for removing the rear wheel carrier assembly that I could use?

Maj. Dundee

The carrier is the knuckle.

appreciation if somebody would have information or step by step procedure to replace rear wheel bearing on GL 164

Maj. Dundee

It's the same as in post #4.

Yes, I understand that the operation for installing the bearing is the same, but my is getting the spindle to the press, there is six bolts with small torque heads that are not really accessable, is there a way or trick to remove those bolts, I just imagine the trouble if you shear off the head! ?

Maj. Dundee

What six bolts are you referring to? Photos please.

I have the job done on all 4 wheels, new bearing as the ABS magnetic rings were all damaged by an accumulation of rust dust, I've painter all the sourrounding axel end and all with KBS SEAL RUST PAINT
