Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required





^ Tube from assembly tool T10244/3

Pressing out bonded rubber bushing
- Remove subframe.





- Attach assembly tool T10267 - 4 - to subframe. Secure securing stud with securing pin.
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 as shown in illustration.

Note:
^ The flattened side of the press piece 3372/1 must face toward insert - A - of the assembly tool T10267, otherwise the insert can be damaged.
^ The tube T10244/3 has a larger and a smaller diameter. The subframe must rest on the larger diameter of the tube T10244/3.

Pressing in bonded rubber bushing





- Fasten both bonded rubber bushings with original bolt, thereby cut-outs - arrows - must lie exactly across from one another.





- Place bolted bonded rubber bushings into larger diameter of tube T10214/2 with bolt head facing downward.

- Press bonded rubber bushing - 1 - in until dimension - a - is achieved.

Dimension - a - = 2 - 3 mm.





- Align tube T10214/2 with pressed in bonded rubber bushings on subframe. Thereby, position edges of inner core of bonded rubber bushing - 1 - on an imaginary line that runs parallel to edge of assembly tool T10267 - 2 -.

The dimension - a - must be identical on left and right, so that it is ensured to be parallel.
- Place subframe onto smaller diameter of tube T10244/3.





- Press mounting onto stop and continue pressing until a force of 20 kN is achieved.

- Remove assembly tool T10267 from subframe and check fit of pressed-in bonded rubber bushing.





^ The outer diameter - 1 - of both bonded rubber bushings must not project more than 2 mm into area of support opening.
^ The cut-outs of bonded rubber bushings must be located centrally in subframe opening.
^ A gap - arrow - between bonded rubber bushings is permissible.
- Install subframe.
