Bearing or race? With non-sealed bearings the bearing should just fall out, the race is a different story. When I'm removing the race the hub is set on 2 (sometimes 4) 2x6 blocks and I'm hitting down through the hub, it would be awfully unlikely for pieces, should the race somehow shatter, to get to me.
Once on my '85 190D after bearing failure I couldn't get the inner race out. I ended up running beads of weld perpendicular to the diameter of the race. When I ran the fourth bead the race popped right out. -Curt Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:44:34 -0500 From: Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Wheel bearings...

My father was cut quite badly many years ago when a bearing he was trying to remove shattered. A piece of it flew accross the top of his hand and cut an artery.
