Re : Changing rear bearing/Hub on 1998 SL2

[GaryGang]

Hello --- Just looking for a short overview about changing rear wheel bearing Hub assembly.

I've had both the fronts done and I know a press is needed.

Is the rear just bolt on and much easier to change?

Thanks in advance

The rear wheel bearings on S cars are not individually serviceable. You replace the hub with the bearing already integrated into it. So yes, it is less work. Just be sure to order the ABS version if you have abs and the non-abs version if you do not have abs. It does matter and they are not interchangeable
