t	Removal tool -3372-

t	Tightening plate -VW 401-

t	Die -VW 407-

t	Thrust piece -VW 432-

t	attachment tool -T10214-

t	Assembly tool -T10267- with adapter -T10267/1A-

t  Tube from assembly tool -T10244/3- Pressing out bonded rubber bush –  Remove subframe → Chapter.

–  Attach assembly tool -T10267--4- to subframe. Secure retaining pins of tool with locking pins. 1 -  Die -VW 407- 2 -  Thrust piece -3372/1- 3 -  Tightening plate -VW 401- 4 -  Cross piece -T10267- 5 -  Tube -T10244/3- –  Press out both bonded rubber bushes together as shown.   Note t  Flattened side of thrust piece -3372/1- must face towards insert -A- of traverse -T10267-, as otherwise insert may be damaged. t  The tube -T10244/3- has two different internal diameters. The subframe must lie against the larger internal diameter of the tube -T10244/3-. Press out bonded rubber bush.

–  Bolt together both bonded rubber bushes with the genuine bolt (the two recesses -arrows- must be exactly above each other).

–  Once they have been bolted together, insert bonded rubber bushes into larger diameter of tube -T10214/2- with bolt head facing downwards. 1 -  Thrust piece -VW 432- 2 -  Press tool -T10214/3- without bolts. 3 -  Bonded rubber bush 4 -  Tube -T10214/2- 5 -  Tube -T10214/1- 6 -  Tightening plate -VW 401-

–  Press in bonded rubber bushes -1- until dimension -a- is obtained. Dimension -a- = 2 - 3 mm.   Note

t  There are 2 different types of bonded rubber bushes for pendulum supports: the T version -I- and the V version -II-. t  They are allocated by means of the → Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA“. I -  The corners of the inner core -1- point towards the opening for pendulum support -arrow- (T version) II -  The corners of the inner core -2- point away from the opening for pendulum support -arrow- (V version)

T-type bonded rubber bush –  Align tube -T10214/2- containing pressed-in bonded rubber bushes on subframe.   Note t  The corners of the inner core of the bonded rubber bush -arrows- must point towards the cross member -T10244--1-. t  The corners of the inner core of the bonded rubber bush -arrows- must be parallel to the edge of the cross member -T10244--1-. The distance -a- must be identical on both sides to ensure parallel alignment.

V-type bonded rubber bush –  Align tube -T10214/2- containing pressed-in bonded rubber bushes on subframe.   Note t  The corners of the inner core of the bonded rubber bush -arrows- must point away from the cross member -T10244--1-. t  The corners of the inner core of the bonded rubber bush -arrows- must be parallel to the edge of the cross member -T10244--1-. The distance -a- must be identical on both sides to ensure parallel alignment. Continuation for both types:

–  Position subframe against smaller internal diameter of tube -T10244/3-. –  Press bearing onto stop until a pressing force of 20 kN is obtained. 1 -  Die -VW 407- 2 -  Thrust piece -T10214/3- 3 -  Tube -T10214/2- 4 -  Cross piece -T10267- 5 -  Tube -T10214/1- –  Detach cross-piece -T10267- from subframe and check pressed-in bonded rubber bushes for proper seating.

l  The outer diameter -1- of the two bonded rubber bushes may project up to 2 mm above the edge in the vicinity of the aperture for the pendulum support. l  The recesses of the bonded rubber bushes must be positioned in the centre of the aperture in the subframe. l  There may be a gap -arrow- between the bonded rubber bushes. –  Install subframe → .
