1984 Mercedes 300SD W126 - Front Hub, Bearings, Wear Sensor and Brake System Rebuild Finished

#impalamansgarage1
Bearing and bearing race removal and replacement. New rotors, pads and brake wear sensor cabling. The brake calipers (Bendix calipers) were rebuilt in the previous video. This car does not have anti-locking brakes. It was optional in 1984.

Notes:
In the video I stated that I packed some extra grease down in the hub before inserting the outer bearing. There is really no need to do this. There is no advantage in having extra grease inside the hub BETWEEN the inner and outer bearings.

Yes one of the rubber caps is missing from the brake reservoir.
