i searched and ive come up with the 2303300325MY meyle kit , but am interested in sourcing the bearings alone.


Has anyone ever just purchased the bearings from a bearing distributor? i have wholesale accounts with a few local distributors, and would like to go through them as i can have my company pay for them. Zero cost out of pocket would be great.

do any of these sound right?

A230 330 03 25 is the correct part number for the front bearing kit.

They rarely go bad. Usually repacking the outer bearing (a relatively simple job) and readjusting takes away any play and you're good to go for a long time.

i will look into repacking the bearing, and re torquing the lock not nut to spec. i definitely have noise coming form the front left wheel, especially when taking a corner you can hear the bearing get louder.

i dont want to purchase a full kit, i want to just purchase the bearings through my distributor. trying to save up money for tires, spark plugs,etc. if i can get the correct part number i wont have to pay the $60 bucks for a kit when the bearings alone are around $10 each and can order them through my company and not have to pay a dime.

If its that noisey you may have an issue then, you'll have to pull the dust cap and inspect. Ive seen people remove the caps which is a very bad idea, to fit aftermarket wheels, and water gets in there.

I know you're trying to get the information ahead of time, but if you're having a really loud noise and it is in the front of your car it be something of a concern for me, you're going to have to take the wheel off to inspect the bearing in anyway....pull the wheel off, start taking it apart and get the part number probably a Timken bearing.... Then when you get the information come back on here and post it for everybody..... Don't let the wife drive it unless you attend to all front end issues..... Honey I was just trying to save $50 so I kept driving the car and then the wheel fell off

caps are still on. Im just super **** when it comes down to my cars. Wheel bearing is just starting to hum, and has almost zero play when trying to test it by hand. not sure if it needs replacing or just a re torque and repack. but id rather just get it replaced and not worry about it anymore.


Im surprised no one has had experience with just ordering up the bearings...


other question is other than going to mercedes, what grease is recommended?

Take the OEM one #: "002 989 00 51/10"



ZAYED,,

1 tube enough for 2 wheels or should i get 2?

One tube will do. If you have to replace the bearings, and your car is anything like my 07 E63, the job is a real bear. It took 5 hours in my shop with all the tools necessary. It is not particularly difficult, but a lot has to get disconnected to remove the 2 bearings on each side. If you have any play, re-adjust and take out the play, then repack with grease. If the noise is still there then you can replace them.

Do you want to change the bearing only..?,

cause bearings not comes separately, it comes as a complete with hub assembly...

was going to use this DIY ,

im going to try to order the bearings that the kurtwz added part numbers to and see if they work. my cost will be $50 for 2 inners and 2 outers.

Outer: NTN ETA-LM12710-2 JAPAN HN
Inner: NTN ET 32008XPX | OV6 JAPAN HL

if not im going to use this kit,

Prefer to go with any of these brands; (NTN/INA/KOYO/NACHI/SKF/***)...

ZAYED,,

You can get the bearings standalone. My used ones are now decorations on my office. WorldPac sells them individually or as a kit.

picked this kit up, should be in wednesday,

anyone have a write up showing the best way to remove bearing from hub? i have most of the tools needed but always nice to see others experiences and tips vs learning the hard way.

That part was pain. We used a press but the hub does not line cleanly so you will have to stabilize the hub and used different hub press tools to get it off. Not much help here, sorry. It took a lot of force to get them off.

so ive confirmed my wheel bearings are the culprit to my sloppy steering, darting, and humming. used the method in post number 4 to tighten things up as well as repacked outer bearing as it looked dry.

car drove so much better, but today on the way back to work it started to get noisy again. awaiting on new bearings to come in and will just redo them and hope it lasts.

does anyone have a better wheel bearing diy?

I saw when on YouTube but I'll let you search the videoshttp://m.youtube.com/results?q=merce...20bearing&sm=1 when you get to doing the job how about posting up some pictures so that way the next guy doesn't go through what you're going through

fine here

i sent that vid to my buddy last summer for his clk. Cost a bit more to get the whole hub assembly than wheel bearing but was able to DIY itself with no problems. I made sure that he hand tighten and then back off the nut. No issues at all with his bearings since then.

watched that video a few days ago, hopefully next week i will have all my parts to do the job.

need to do my rear pads as well, going to order some akebonos, P.O. replaced the fronts with some oems recently but i hate the dust, might as well do the fronts while i got things apart ....


this the procedure i used from this member
