Right there! all Ok
You can use the blue lithium Mobil or Mobil RED performance (superior than blue lithium), is very efficient too (i think superior than factory MB green) anyway the green Mercedes is exelent too & you can sayd you use only MB OEM parts

I think the op is talking about REAR wheel bearing.. the sealed straight rollor type. They do not get packed with grease. They get pressed in and out.

There was no grease involved. It was actually pretty easy. All you have to do is disco all the linkages and the caliper. The hardest part is disco the e brake. Pop the whole thing off press the hub and bearing out the press it in then install in reverse order. BTW I changed ball joints and tie rod ends the week before and it eas Cake. This was a rear bearing.

yeah if its the rear bearings no need grease, & yes too is a very complicated E brake system, but really works a lot better than other models
