Another one of those services which MB fails to offer a specified interval for.. I'm not sure of their logic. Since I routinely jiggle my wheels anytime the car is off the ground, I felt a faint bit of play on the right front, so I opted to just proceed with a full Bearing R/R Repacking rather than just re-adjust. This post is NOT intended as a repair guide, rather, it is intended for "entertainment purposes ONLY". Consult your manual for your own work, and do it at your OWN RISK. I use the tube of FUCHS grease. I buy it in 400 gram tubes for MUCH cheaper per gram vs. the MB 150 gram tubes. The Grease is the exact same material. This Green Grease is the specified product to pack the universal housings on the G's (800 grams per side!).

I didn't think anyone ever visited this forum!! The Kukko number is 21-7. Unless you are planning on doing multiple jobs, you would be much better off just throwing away your hubs, and buying new ones, for what the Puller System would cost you. Have fun! G | ||

Eyes - 10/1/2012 5:28 PM G-AMG Thanks for your advice .. May be I will do like you told. Since I don't know where you are (please fill in your User Info), you will have to weight the cost/benefit. Here in the USA, new Hubs WITH BEARINGS AND SEALS, are only $142 each. The Kukko 22-2 and 21-7 is nearly $400! Just to let you know, I tried to first Pry out the Seal, without success. You might be able to Knock out the seal from the other side. Me, personally, I don't like "banging" on anything which has Bearings associated with it. | ||
