Replacing Your Front Wheel Bearing in 30-Minutes - Pictorial

Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Straightforward and low in cost. This is well designed and BMW made it simple to replace the front bearings on the E24.

I do not recommend reusing the 46mm collar nuts or dust caps, just buy new ones, they are inexpensive.
