Description:

Did anyone out there do a DIY bearing/hub assembly replacement and now you have scrap metal piling up in your yard (much to the chagrin of your neighbors)?

I want to make a mounting bracket for my spare tire to go onto my roof basket. A discarded hub would be perfect because I won't want it to spin anyway by the time I'm done with it. It seems a perfect mount---I can even use a regular wheel lock to lock the tire to the rack!  I'm hoping to find something cheap (free? or swap for something I might have?); I can send you a prepaid shipping label, so this would be easy-peasy for you.

I think the "correct" part number is 246-334-00-06-64 because that would be the rear from a FWD (no unnecessary gearing) but 246-334-02-06 would probably be more common because that part is from front and rear of 4Matics.   I believe this part is shared with all years of CLA, GLA, and the AMG versions of both. 

My apologies for cross-posting to other MB forums, but I am trying to reach the widest audience since this isn't only a GLA or a CLA thing.  Thanks!
