Thanks for the upload, I've came across this problem and all my experience is in FWD cars so I hit the part where the shield can't clear the hub flange (oh darn) then researched just how much stripping you need to get the cheapest part off and it's incredible!
I have a W212 and mercedes just replaced the rear subframe free of charge under extended warranty , however they did sting me for other work, BUT they never mentioned the rear disc mud guards had holes in them, Its a later model than yours so i hope i can do the same as you as there is no way i want to pull the hub off, Many thanks its what i needed to see.
I guess this would work on the W202 as well as the setup looks identical. Will order some cheap back plates to butcher and get this done as I fear there is already a lot of rotational play in my handbrake lol. RIDEX brand off autodoc are cheap :). The rear bearings frequently get damaged removing them to do this job and it's a false economy not to change them anyway. However I fail to see the point in destroying/ changing bearings which have no play and make no noise just to change a cheap bit of tin plate. Thanks for the video :)
@philmarino9386 no probs. Good old fashioned mechanic . I went to a Merc indie and he said he would only fix it the proper way for safety reasons! 🤷🏽♂️
Hi ... it was one of the modified polymer sealants, I think I used Puraflex 40 although that's only because I had some laying around. There were no rattles from the back end, so I guess it has done the job! good luck.

worth checking with your Merc dealer for sure, they can sometimes be surprisingly cheap. I just replaced a (genuine) rear lower control arm on mine for less than some of the used ones on eBay.

Exactly what I needed! I have all the gear, quality street lid, skint knuckle stuff included😀
Brought me a smile. Thanks fella.
I lost hope when I took the disc off. Thanks for brilliant idea. I wonder how many people have seen this video after dismantling half of their cars.
So glad I've watched this, after replacing brake pipes as your other video shows, I've also had to replace backplates & shoes. Thanks for the tips.
Sounds like your Merc is about the same condition as mine! Have you checked the front plates? I had to do all 4 of mine at the same time.
Thank you so much! Definitely saved my day!
