Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
^ Installation device 3372
^ Thrust plate VW 401
^ Punch VW 407
^ Press piece VW 432
^ Assembly tool T10214
^ Assembly tool T10267





^ Tube from assembly tool T10244/3

Bonded rubber bushing, pressing out
- Remove subframe.
- Remove pendulum support from subframe.





- Install Assembly Tool T10267 -4- on subframe. Secure safety bolts using securing pins.
1. Punch VW 407
2. Press piece 3372/1
3. Thrust plate VW 401
4. Assembly tool T10267
5. Tube T10244/3
- Press out both bonded rubber bushings simultaneously, as depicted in illustration.

Note:
^ Flat side of Thrust Piece 3372/1 must face insert -A- on Assembly Tool T10267, otherwise insert may be damaged.
^ Tube T10244/3 has a larger and a smaller diameter. Subframe must rest on large inner diameter of tube T10244/3.

Pressing in bonded rubber bushing





- Bolt both bonded rubber bushings onto original bolt, cutouts -arrows- must align.





- Insert bolted bonded rubber bushings, with bolt head downward, into large diameter of tube T10214/2.
1. Press piece VW 432
2. Thrust piece T10214/3 without bolts
3. Bonded rubber bushing
4. Tube T10214/2
5. Tube T10214/1
6. Thrust plate VW 401





- Press bonded rubber bushing -1- in until dimension -a- is achieved.
^ Dimension -a- = 2 - 3 mm.





- Align tube T10214/2 on subframe with pressed in bonded rubber bushings. Edges of bonded rubber bushing inner core -1- must run on imaginary line parallel to edge of Assembly Tool T10267 -2-.
Distance -a- must be identical at left and right to guarantee parallelism.
- Place subframe onto smaller inner diameter of tube T10244/3.





- Press in mounting onto stop, and until force of 20 Nm is reached.

- Remove Assembly Tool T10267 from subframe and check seating of the pressed in bonded rubber bushing.





^ Outer diameter -1- of both bonded rubber bushings may project up to 2 mm over edge in area of opening for pendulum support.
^ Cutouts in bonded rubber bushings must be in center of subframe opening.
^ Gap -arrow- between bonded rubber bushings is permissible.
- Install subframe.
