I'm trying to replace the front wheel bearing on my ml320 but having a nightmare trying to get the bearing out of the hub assembly.
are they really tight in and what is the best way of getting them out?
any help would be appreciated!

Before anything, go back to your post and in "edit" remove your address.

If the papers are not right please ask

Hi again -
I think the thread messed up the hyperlink to my email by adding a T to the .com bit

i've just replaced the wheel bearings on my Vito, i had to take it to an engineering company, it took 25 tonnes of pressure to get the bearing out of the hub
