I'm replacing the brakes on my 318 this week and i thought i should do the wheel bearing at the same time. Im going to have my dad help me check one more time but the front right wheel can be moved in about 3/4" and i cant see anything moving underneath. There is also a noise when i turn left. can the front bearings be repalced with normal tools? i should replace both i take it? should i replace the rears too?

thats what i was thinking. it looks like it will only be one extra nut. Looks big though so i might need to buy that socket. The MEYLE bearing is $80 on bmaComment

Well i just took the bearings and stuff off, and along with practicly new brake pads (with no sensor) i found an SKF bearing. DId they come on these cars new? here is a couple pics i snapped
you can see how the dirt came off with a little wiping, possibly it has already been replaced?
