Thanks to Jeff Greenfield I now know that getting the wheel bearing out of a rear 116 is one thing but installing the new one You Must have a washer (or better, the proper bearing tool) which is large enough to fit up against the outer bearing surface (preferably a 'tool' that is only slightly smaller than the OD of the bearing) to push or (better) pull into place. If pushed/pulled in with the 'washer' only large enough to rest against the center bearing section, the rather expensive bearing/bearings is/are toast.
