Press out 

Do not use an impact wrench or other compressed-air tool otherwise the threaded spindle on the puller (2) will be damaged.

The threaded spindle on puller (2) is only used for retensioning and not for pressing out the stabilizer bar pivot bushing (8).

It is essential to remove the rubber boot (and its wire fasteners) of the torsion bar pivot bushing (8), otherwise the puller (2) will be damaged as a result of the high press-out forces.

1. Press out stabilizer bar pivot bushing (8) with puller (2), press (1), press-out sleeve (2.1) and counterholder (2.3) from the spring control arm (17) opposite to the direction of travel.

   Attach the counterholder (2.3) correctly on the stabilizer bar pivot bushing (8) (see picture). The bore in the counterholder (2.3) must be seated centrally over the stabilizer bar pivot bushing (8).

   The removal and installation tool 220 589 07 43 00 contains:

   • Puller (2)
   • Press-out sleeve (2.1)
   • Counterholder (2.3)
