2007 to 2012 GL 320 / 350 GL450 GL550 Front Wheel Bearing - Sold Individually

Store > Driveline and rear end Products
This is the OE manufacturer for this bearing. Don't go cheap on bearings when you consider the labor to install them!

This is what you call a "big hongking" wheel bearing. It weighs close to 4 lbs! Replacement is a very expensive repair if you have a shop do it, but if you are an intermediate DIY mechanic, you CAN do it yourself with the steering knuckle on the vehicle, if you have the right tools. Someone might tell you to get a sleeve bearing tool, watch some videos, and it's a piece of cake. Not so. There are no reasonably priced tools for the DIY mechanic that can handle a bearing this big. Kent came up with a big sleeve kit that will work with most $50 to $75 sleeve pullers (Amaxon). Watch the YouTube video below for an overview of the procedure.
