tuff job most of the time. axle nut, brake rotor and caliper have to come off first. spray axle with wd40 and hope it is not seized in hub. then there are 3 bolts witch are ataching bearing to spindle. they are behind spindle.
Unless you have an airgun capable of 200-250 ft/lbs of torque, it will be much easier if you remove the wheel, remove the center cap from the rim, re install the wheel and lower the vehicle so that the full weight of the car is on the ground. Use a 34mm socket, 2 inch extension and a breaker bar with a good length of pipe on it. Soak the spindle nut with a good quality penetrating oil before hand. Let it soak overnight if possible and use a wire wheel brush on a drill to clean the spindle threads first. Have an assistant inside the car with a foot on the brake pedal and crack the spindle nut loose with the socket through the center of the rim. Once that is done you can remove the wheel and then proceed as noted above and remove the other components. The 3 bolts securing the hub to the spindle should be 18mm and will likely need a good soak as well. Assembly is the opposite. Do not over or under torque the spindle nut during reassembly as either will cause premature bearing failure. The torque spec for the spindle nut on a 2001-2004 300m is 105 ft/lbs. One side note is to make sure you dont get any oil on the rotor or brake pads if you plan to re use them. You may as well replace these while you are at it but that is up to you. Good Luck!
