You should be able to go to the dealership and request that they show you the part that needs to be replaced. Ask them to explain what is wrong with it. Then ask what would happen if you didn&#8217;t replace it. Finally make your decision on whether or not to have it replaced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"Rear Wheel Bearing Removal With No Special Tools BMW 3 Series\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef qsa_\\&amp;start\\=44\" id=\"WYL_wKYL9_4mXRI\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwKYL9_4mXRI%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wKYL9_4mXRI\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT7M35S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2010-11-03T20:49:28Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_wKYL9_4mXRI\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwKYL9_4mXRI%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Rear Wheel Bearing Removal With No Special Tools BMW 3 Series<\/div><\/div><button tabindex=\"0\" class=\"play\"><\/button><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wKYL9_4mXRI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FwKYL9_4mXRI%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Rear Wheel Bearing Removal With No Special Tools BMW 3 Series\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@edzgarage?
