Removing rubber mounts

Using extraction and pull-in tool (062f, 062g, 062l, 062q) pull both rubber mounts (62) forwards out of the rear axle carrier until the thrust (062g) abuts the rear axle carrier.
To avoid expanding the rubber mount outer race, the projecting end "a" must be drawn forward with the thrust piece (062g) as far as the rear axle carrier.
