Installing front or rear rubber-metal bearing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Pay attention to the following:
The front and rear rubber-metal bearing differ only slightly in the overall height. When installing, pay attention to correct assignment → Electronic catalogue of original parts.
   
The rubber-metal bearing must be installed in direction of orientation.
The tabs of the outer sleeve -arrows A- must point transversely to the direction of travel -arrow C-.

–  Insert special tool together with rubber-metal bearing as shown in the assembly carrier.
  Caution
The pressure plate -T10263/3- must be laid in such a way that the tabs align the outer sleeve of the rubber-metal bearing -arrow A- with the window at the pressure plate -T10263/3--arrow B-.
This positioning is absolutely necessary, as the tabs interlock in the area of the window with the bearing seat after removing the rubber-metal bearing.
