E300 turbo diesel wheel hub

[dirtymonkey29]

Do you have to replace wheel hubs in pairs? will i need to get a wheel bearing kit aswell? and are the wheel bearings/replacement hubs easy to do?

only reason i want to change the hubs is because the screw that holds the brake disc on has snapped and i have tried to drill it and use an easyout with no joy. tried drilling the rest of the remainder of the screw out. the brake disc is held on by the wheel and drives ok.

Dont worry about it a tall, it is there for asembley purposes only, ive snapped hundreds with no problems at all.

well thats good news at least....but for future reference as its probably something i do next time the discs need changing or when the bearings go. im assuming there done in pairs

The grub screw is there to stop the disc from falling on your foot when you remove the brake caliper. Don't worry about it, it's not worth bothering about.
