Removing and installing the wheel hub with wheel bearing
Removing and installing the wheel hub with wheel bearing
Removing:
–  Remove screw for securing the drive shaft to the wheel hub → Chapter.
  Note
t  If the screw for securing the drive shaft is loosened more than 90°, the wheel bearings must not be loaded through the weight of the vehicle, i.e the vehicle must not stand on its wheels.
t  If the wheel bearings are loaded through the weight of the vehicle when the bolt for securing the drive shaft is removed, the inner wheel bearing may be damaged. This shortens the life of the wheel bearing.
t  If the vehicle is standing on its wheels or moves, pay attention to the following: Install the outer joint instead of the drive shaft. Tighten the fixing screw (use the one which was previously removed) of the outer joint to the tightening torque of 120 Nm.
–  Remove wheel.
–  Remove brake caliper with brake carrier (depending on the version) and tie with wire to the body → Brake systems; Rep. gr.46.
–  Remove ABS speed sensor → Brake systems; Rep. gr.45.
–  Remove brake disc.
–  Push the drive shaft as far as possible out of the wheel hub (in direction of gearbox).
   
–  Release screws -arrows-.
–  Take the wheel bearing unit out of the wheel-bearing housing.
Installing:
Installation is carried out in the reverse order.
–  Install brake caliper with brake carrier (depending on the version) → Brake systems; Rep. gr.46.
–  Tighten screw for securing the drive shaft to the wheel hub → Chapter.
  Note
When tightening the screw for attaching the drive shaft, the wheel must be raised until it is fully off the ground, otherwise the wheel bearing can be initially damaged.
–  Install ABS speed sensor → Brake systems; Rep. gr.45.
