Removal
NOTE: There are 2 Rear Drive Unit (RDU) rear bushings in the rear subframe. This procedure shows how to remove one bushing. The procedure for
the remaining RDU bushing is identical.
1. Remove the RDU. For additional information, refer to Differential Assembly &/or Axle Shaft Assembly.
2. NOTE: The Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (65 mm) Remover/Installer 204-618/1 must be used to remove the bushing to make sure that it
passes through the receiver cup.
NOTE: Make sure the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer 204-616/2 is positioned with the larger opening toward the
bushing to act as the receiver cup.
NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer is pointed toward the rear subframe when
removing the bushing.
Assemble the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (65 mm) Remover/Installer and the Rear Drive Unit (RDU) Bushing (70 mm) Remover/Installer to
the rear subframe and press out the bushing.
