FRONT WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT 1982 460
Has anybody done the above ? if so do you have to remove the stub-axle/outer driveshaft assembly calliper? ...We removed the external cap and as far as we could see there is no obvious adjustment point.

Certainly - if you have the workshop facilities then it might be cheaper to build your own. Harald has a bit of a special working relationship with MB ;)
Hello ,well bit the bullet and have ordered the hub nut tool as it looks like it might be something that wil require regular attention...Better get my monies worth from it as it is going to cost £28 plus VAT still at least I will get the VAT back which helps! :)
Not a bad price at all! I guess it is the 463 tool that is close to £100...at least you know it is the OEM tool and should last. I know it doesn't add anything but having a tool with the MB part number on it makes it special haha.
