@@anthonycurran1298 Nice!! I am from Prospect Heights. But I am currently in the military in Washington state. But I usually visit Illinois pretty often

@@anthonycurran1298 here's my phone number if anything: 224-313-2707

You're welcome! Pretty old video but I'm glad it helped!

300CD at last Guy Thank you! Would love to see some videos of your W123s

Here is one of my W123 vid's I sold this car recently but only because I have another 8 of them. It was a great car! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mGzBzhfcaRQ.html

You will get a kick out of this one... Since you live in a snowy place- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cMhzOE3DwW0.html

You need that special socket and use it from the inside to adjust the bearing. In the mean time you need to hold the hub from spinning using the breaker bar and a couple of lug bolts

Which tool? Wheel bearing removal tool?

No

Check AutohausAZ and FCPEURO

This is the recent video about this car ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Ay6vW16TaY.htmlsi=5uA3gRkmcXP8mw_7

On Amazon its like $25 made in Taiwan but works great vs factory tool is a lot!

Sometimes you CAN reuse the collar and the car has been doing amazing for the last 4 years. No issues. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it?? Lol this is a restoration! So yes, we are fixing everything on it

No difference

Thanks for help. I was wondering why there are different codes for left and right hub in mb catalogue. I need left hub and ordered spare part, but I wasn't sure if it's gonna fit because there are no code on the hub

I was in a hurry to put the car back together. I had to finish it that day. I don't have any issues with the car. The races were smooth. The nail didn't catch on any of them

Can you rephrase your question? The inner bearing just comes out after you remove the castle nut. The outer bearing stays on the hub

I think there is something still preventing the inner bearing from coming off. I can see some type of ring or washer. The Flange is out already so I'm not too sure whats preventing the inner bearing from popping out. All I know is that if you look at the inner bearing from the opposite side, the side where you would be looking at your wheels when they are on, you can see the inner bearing and it appears that you would just be able to bang it out using a similar size pipe diameter and banging that pipe with a dead blow hammer. I tried that and it did not budge. It's almost like I need to remove something else on the side that it should pop out from. It looks like there is something there but I'm not too sure how to remove it. On your video you kind of skip over that part but I think you did mention that there is some sort of ring piece that needs to be removed so that the inner bearing can be removed.

I believe you mention that you have to remove this inner seal and only then can you remove the inner bearing: You mention this here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kn86idBtajA.html

After cleaning up the area it looks like its a seal. I think I need a seal puller.

You have to remove the inner seal first before banging out the inner bearing. Sorry, the video is very old, I was doing a horrible job filming all that lol. If you still need help or have questions, email me at vitoldaswork@gmail.com 🚗🚗🚗

That's strange, the kit usually comes with everything. Wait, so when you did your bearings, you only replaced the inner seal and you reused the bigger outer seal?

I haven't pit the new one in but when it came out it only had a seal on the inside facing the driveshaft, none on the big side at all. And some weird part came with the kit that doesn't appear to be part of my set up, but it came from pelican parts, they've always got my parts right, and everything seems to fit nice

Thank you for this video btw all of your videos helped me a ton

Also I just pulled out some spacers that seem to be made of springs? The outer one was busted with the big bearing but the small one stayed intact with bearing

@@julianwilson7039 No problem. So, it seems like you have to redo the whole procedure. Fcp euro has a kit too. But you can also contact pelican parts and ask them to exchange the parts because they went bad.. This time, change both seals, grease up the bearings very well and install back. This video is old and not the best quality. I post new car videos every week. Please check out my playlists also😊🙌🚗🔨🔧

Hi sir. Thank you so much for watching and supporting! I have lots of videos about old school Benzes! The best cars ever made! Ipost new clips every week. I love W116s, I might be actually getting one next year from a friend. It needs an engine swapped, I wanna save it so much. As far as the rear wheel hubs, they should be the same on Left and Right sides. They're interchangeable. The only thing is that this is a W116 chassis, not the W126. The part numbers you gave me are for the W126 Benz. I don't think that W126 hubs would fit on the W116. I am honestly not too sure. W126 Benz is a lot beefier than a W123 or W116. Let me search the right part for you. And, what is the reason you need to change your rear wheel hub?

Here's the whole used rear trailing arm. This is the rear passenger side. If you need the driver's side, search it up on ebay. It's there. It's straight from Germany www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-W116-Steering-Knuckle-Wheel-Hub-Rear-Right-4/193113050262?hash=item2cf66f4c96:g:B7EAAOSwezVWxvlO

It's hard to find just the hub alone for this baby. Try to look on Genuine Mercedes Parts websites. Or you might have to order straight from the local dealership

@@VITOSGARAGE Although the part numbers start with w126, they are applicable and fit both the w116 and the w126. The hubs themselves may look alike but the FSM clearly distinguishes between the LEFT and RIGHT REAR HUBS and states not to interchange them.

@@gbenz6494 I see. You may be right. W123 both rear hubs are the same. Can't tell much about W126 or W116. You can order the hub and see if it fits. If it doesn't, then return it and get another one

JHZR2 Dial indicator? I hope you are not serious

VITO'S GARAGE no it's an honest question. The FSM requires it for the front and I believe the rear. The rear has a crush washer that if overcrushed is not correct. At least per my reading. This may be overkill but it's a job I've never done that I'd like to do and be right. So it's a serious question, respectfully submitted.

JHZR2 I didn't use dial indicator on both rear and front bearings. I know how much to tighten them. I never have any issues. But if you've never done bearings then you should use the dial indicator

Oh my Gosh, I committed a sin… I am so sorry

English?

@@VITOSGARAGE no

@@karl-heinzscheifl-wq2cp alright, then I can’t help you

Это у вас всё через жопу... А у меня Всё было вычисчено сделано как надо!

No worries, everything went fine. Any grease was cleaned off with brake cleaner
