The theory is when the weld cools it'll contract and pull the race in with it. Seemed to work in my case. -Curt Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 09:27:33 -0800 (PST) From: Dimitri Seretakis <dsereta...@yahoo.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: [MBZ] Wheel bearing replacement Message-ID: <893836.8557...@web113205.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm trying to replace the front wheel bearing on my 71 280SL and I'm having a hard time driving out the smaller race (the one closer to the lock nut). I tried with a brass punch but the harder metal of the race chewed it up. I then tried a pin punch for driving out brake pad retaining pins but it just slips as the edge profile of the race is not enough to get a good grip. Any other tips? Does putting the hub in the freezer help? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
