Replace rear bearings W123 200 1985

[novisen07]

Hi,
I´m going to replace the left rear bearings. It´s a hard job I know. I did it on right side a time ago.
I wonder if I can use the old ring instead of the new one. The new ring is incredibly difficult to pull to the right tension. The old one is already drawn right. What can happen if I use it? Hope you understand what I mean.

If you are referring to leaving a race from the old bearing but with otherwise new components - I don't think anyone can recommend doing that as there will be wear on it that will accelerate wear on the new components when they run with it.

What is possible once (RHS) is possible again.....

Don't mix old and new parts.
Replace the left bearing as you replaced the right bearing.

Crush washer?
No don't re-use it. Might need a 2m breaker bar.
