The rear wheel bearing in my MB Titanium have become very noisy does anyone have a copy of the manual so that I could see what the procedure is to replace them?
Thanks |

The Rear wheel bearing and hub are one assembly, you can do the bearing alone but it's more difficult without gear pullers or press access. Get the standard complete assembly trust me, it's easy and quick.
Safety First: Please follow safety precautions, Yeah I know lame of me to say as I don't know your abilities but it's always a good reminder. Jack/stand/chocks ect... we too would like to see you around the Forums ;) Ok the nitty gritty: 1. Remove the Brake Calliper and Brake Rotor, disconnect the wheel sensor connector. 2. Remove the swaybar link and swivel it up out of the way to gain access to the rear of the Hub. 3. Remove (from the rear) the hub retaining bolts and remove the bearing hub and backing plate 4. Swap the old bearing hub for the new and install in reverse order. 5. Profit ;) |

Are you sure it is the bearings making the noise.
Both of my XR5's started to make increased wheel noise when the tyres reached around 40ks life. My second set of tyres on the MB have now reached this age and I have noted an increase in noise over the past few weeks.

Well my tires only have a few thousand k's left in them so I will wait until I change them out to see if the noise is coming from them! Thanks for the reply's

well I guess you'll know if you get down to removing the rotor, just spin the hub and if you hear the slightest noise in rotation, it's the bearing. They should be neigh on silent when spun, and not spin freely and keep spinning.
That's what I'd expect i reckon, and if it is silent then I'd be looking for a binding caliper or something along those lines. |
