Hi,
Great Car!!! My best friend had a W31 that I believe was the same year.
As far as the bearing is concerned, it should be mounted in the axle tube. Take a look through this link. It is on a truck, but the idea should be the same.

Page down to steps 4 or 5. Step 5 discusses the bearing and seal replacement procedures. If you watch the video in step 4, it explains the entire process which may help.
Let me know.
Take care,
Joe
