Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

If you are starting to hear a low rumbling sound from your front end or your W204 has over a one hundred thousand miles on it you should inspect your front wheel bearings for replacement. The bearings support the full weight of the car both while stationary and under load. As the mileage increases on the car, heat and lack of lubrication can cause the bearings to wear and possibly fail.
Replacing the bearings isn't a difficult procedure, but it does involve a commitment to the job as you will be destroying some old parts in removal and will not be able to use the car until the new ones are installed. Make sure you have everything you need before you start. If you are worried about your skill level you can just buy a new complete wheel hub with the bearings installed.
Before you begin the job place the new races in the freezer, preferably over night if you can. Freezing the races will decrease the other diameter and make installation into the hub easier.
You will need to first remove the brake caliper and rotor or discs. Please see our articles on removing your calipers and disks.
Once the calipers and pads are removed, you'll have access to the wheel-bearing hub. If you are going to be installing new rotors while performing this job leave the old ones on while working. The old rotors will provide a wider base or more stable platform while working on the hubs.

I think it's important to note that, while most w204's are all-wheel drive, this tutorial is for RWD only

@@dafunk420you know benz offered the W204 with 4matic right? And they sold ALOT of them. Especially in colder climates, 4matic is all you'll see there

Not sure what planet everyone else is from, but here in the Northeast my caps are welded on by rust. At this point, I'm questioning if they were welded on in the factory. I'll be lucky if a puller or air hammer does the trick. Gotta love winters....
