Hi Peter, If I can get the carrier off, a shop should be able to press the old one out and a new one in right?  Gotcha, I will get a Spring Link if I get that far... Thanks for all the help.. LarryT On 07/04/2018 9:57 AM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote: Take the wheel carrier off

I don't think you need one. Support spring link with a jack while the car is up on jackstands or on a life, unbolt lower shock absorber mount and spring link bearing in the wheel carrier, lower spring link. Spring will completely un-compress and can be removed by hand. If you want to use a

Peter what is the recommended spring compressor to avoid death while doing rear suspension work on a 124? I bought a set of those urethane bushings from Poland so I plan to redo quite a bit of stuff. Thanks. On Wed, Jul 4, 2018 at 6:57 AM Peter Frederick via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>

Take the wheel carrier off and use a press. I've never been able to get the hub out with a slide hammer, and I've screwed with these since about 1980. The bearing is usually rusted in well enough you have to use a press to get that out too. Replace the bearing for the spring link while you

    One more thing, I looked at the Pelican Description of removing the wheel bearing and they talk about the rear hub being a bear to remove.  Is that the case?  They suggest a slide hammer.  I was hoping for something I could unbolt.  Not possible? Thanks, LarryT On 07/04/2018 9:23 AM,
