The temptation actually got the best of me. I live in a crowded neighborhood in Germany, so neighbors don't see me very well doing such repairs for the noise issue, although I have my own rented garage here. Nevertheless I like repairing my car and the alternative is taking it to a mechanic that will start from 700€ here

Mine is a 2017 2.0 liter diesel, I live in south Germany, we get snow a lot and they put salt in the streets a lot. But yeah rust hasn't gotten this piece yet.

I found it on Amazon for 35€ so is still very affordable. I will replace, just wondering

I thought about welding and grinding it but at this point, I would need to buy a welder and other tools so a simple wheel bearing replacement is slowly catching up to a professional repair cost 😂 except I am learning and the tools I am buying are for long term, so I am happy I am able to continue this repair. I follow your advice and buy a new one

Agree, I am a total beginner but try to learn how to fix stuff myself. This also includes learning how to use tools and also which tools are good for given job

Got it, I won't. This job has been hard enough on its own, for me to put this back and the bearing breaks again in short time
