Happy holidays to all .
I am wondering if someone can direct me to a post or link for a DIY wheel bearing replacement or service. Fronts are what I want to do for now , but rears wont hurt either.
Cheers

Max if you can get bearing part numers I can get you the bearings alot cheaper. I am in bearing sales.

MARK CUMMINS

Fronts are easy..
remove the calipers
remove the dust/grease caps
loosen the adjuster on the spindle ..remove it along with the outer wheel bearing
remove the complete hub/rotor
remove the inner seal
remove the inner wheel bearing



purchase a wheel bearing packer and use high temp wheel bearing grease

replace the seals
reassemble and adjust the freeplay

Rears are a PITA

They require a special workshop tool to remove and are a sealed bearing

Andy thank you so much , unfortunately I already bought the set of bearings, I wish I knew earlier. Thank you again for your kind offer, and happy holidays.

Thank you kindly Mark, never done it myself before. I am not even sure I need to since I see no wiggle in the front wheels when I lift up the front end, but there is this very slight vibration at higher speed which is driving me crazy. Also when I am making turns while the steering wheel is turned all the way, I feel this very slight " bumping if you will " ever so slight but it is there. Bushings are all new , front suspension checked out fine, so I figured the bearings are the only thing left. I wish I posted the question before I changed the brakes, I figured that the grease cap can come off without taking the rotors off, ahh well .
I guess it is best to get the grease from MB right?
Thank you again for your help and courtesy.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Max just got back into the office. Glad you have gotten them taken care of. Let me know if I can be of any other assitance in the bearing department.
