Replacing Rear Wheel Hub W164
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.

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! ?

Thank you, I was misled by a you tube posting of a different model!
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
