General Warning Notes: Replacing
Information
From model year 2008 onwards, new hydraulic bearings with a larger diameter were introduced in parallel for the bearing -A- . The supplement set T10230/14-16 must be used for these bearings.
The procedure for pressing the bearings in and out is the same for both bearings.
Information
If a hydraulic mount/rubber-metal mount is installed, it must be fitted in the correct position. In other words: the "cut-outs" must be fitted horizontally, in vehicle position (± 5°). Additional instruction in relation to the hydraulic mount -B- : always fit the wide face of the core of the mount towards the centre of the vehicle. Vehicle position = vehicle standing on its wheels.
- Position the tubular piston cylinder and pre-tension slightly to prevent the pressure pieces from slipping out of place. Check the position of the pressure pieces again.
- Maximum assembling force must not exceed 60 KN at the stop.
- The three rubber-metal mounts -A, B, C- must be replaced once the trailing arm is removed.
The pressure pieces and the tubular piston cylinder VAS 6178 are used for removal. This involves screwing pressure head T10205/13 into the tubular piston cylinder. T10230/2 is screwed on to the threaded rod and positioned in T10205/13 for pressing bearings in and out. Nut T10230/15 and washer T10230/14 are screwed onto the opposite end of the threaded rod.
The following pressure pieces and nuts are required for bearings -A- :
Pressing out tools for pressing out hydraulic/rubber-metal bearings
- T10230/2
- T 10230/7
- T10230/9
- T10230/10
- T10230/14
- T10230/15
Information
When using the pressure pieces, the direction arrow shows the direction for pressing the rubber-metal mounts in or out on the trailing arm.
The pressure pieces are used as follows: Arrangement of tools for pressing out hydraulic/rubber-metal bearings.

Information
When pressing the mounts in, make sure that pressure piece 11, in particular, is positioned correctly. Pressure piece 11 must not cover up the bore for the bearing in the control arm!
