- This video shows how to refurbish the rear wheel hubs and remove the tapered wheel bearing from the hub of a 1983 R107 Mercedes 280 SL.The video also touches on how to press a new bearing onto the hub although this will be covered in greater detail in a separate video.
That rear subframe looks fantastic! Love your videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind comments. Mike
Mike, i cannot find the link for the bearing puller
Hello - all links to products are shown at the end of each video. Just type 'hippoproduct' into ebay and you should see the bearing puller listed for £25.50. It is ebay item number 391773336857

What kind of puller will you be using to pull on the bearings. I have been trying to figure that one out for a while. Great video btw!
Hello - I am going to see if this 36 piece Press and Pull kit does the job. Ebay item number 124098885927 Mike
Hi, Thank you for this video. Could you please provide me the product reference to remove rust on the hub?
Thank you for your comment. Evaporust is a fabulous product but expensive. These days I use Bilt Hamber Deox-C crystals which work out much cheaper and basically do the same thing. Both products are available through eBay and Amazon. Mike
Hi Mike. Can you tell the name of manual and its publisher your referencing. Cheers
Hello - I am referencing the official Mercedes workshop manual. If you type the following into google, you should be able to find this section online in one of the Mercedes forums:
35-130 Removal and installation of rear axle shaft flange, adjustment of bearings

Thank you for all your detailed videos! Have you tried refurbishing your dashboard? It can be done with a special spray paint (to paint the needles). I will try this on my R107 at some point.
Hello - if you do this, let me know how it goes. Both 280SL's are OK in this respect but I suspect the 450SL still languishing in a field will require attention to the dash by the time I het round to it. Mike
What did you use to unscrew that end nut? I can't for the life of me remove it.
Thanks for your comment - If I understand you correctly, I used a 'castellated socket set' shown at 2.10 in the video below:

This particular socket set is useful for a variety of tasks on the SL.
What country do you live in?

@@MikesMercsandothercars I'm in the US. We found a set at a local auto shop.
@@Bumblesnitch Cool - hope it goes well. Mike
Hello, I don't understand English, please put a Farsi translation in the caption
Sound is so bad I can't understand a word
Thanks for your comment and sorry about the poor sound quality. It seems fine on my computer but I have since bought a new device so hopefully sound is better on later videos. Mike
