Repack bearings while you are at it, using synthetic grease. McParts will have the seal, bearings too if you need them (Timken). Peter -- Is this seal in the front/outer part of the hub by the cap or the back/inner part of the hub. What is it a grease seal? Roger _ On the road to retirement?

Re: [MBZ] HELP 300SDL ROTOR REMOVAL
To hold the assembly to unscrew the bolts holding the hub to the disk, I
temporarily bolt the hub back on the wheel. It's a lot easier to hold the
wheel than the hub or disk. Also, PB Blaster seems to help get those screws
started. I also put a but of blue locktite on them when I reassemble. Make
sure all mating surfaces are clean before assembling.
