Installing rubber mounting for final drive
- If the spindle cannot be pushed through the through-hole on the inner core of the rubber mounting, it must be drilled.WARNING: Risk of damage or injury from foreign bodies flying around during grinding, drilling and milling
- Risk of eye injuries
→ Wear protective goggles.
- Drill out new rubber mounting.
- 2.1. Carefully clamp new rubber mounting -2- horizontally in the vice as shown using protective jaws -1- , making sure not to damage the outer sleeve of the rubber mounting -2- .
- 2.2. Position drill -3- with the drill bit on the rubber mounting and drill out the through-hole in several steps.
- 2.3. Step 1, drill bit diameter: 11 mm
- 2.4. Step 2, drill bit diameter: 11.5 mm
- 2.5. Step 3, drill bit diameter: 12 mm
- Clean rubber mounting and bore.
- 3.1. All components must be at room temperature.
- 3.2. Clean rubber mounting and bore several times using LOCTITE 7063 and wipe dry with a new disposable cloth or paper towel.
- 3.3. Repeat the cleaning process until there is no longer any dirt on the cleaning cloth.
- 3.4. Allow components to dry off for at least 2 minutes.
- 3.5. Roughen the bonding area of the rubber mounting and bore with a clean 120-grit emery cloth.
- 3.6. If a bonded rubber mounting was removed, the adhesive residue must be completely removed from the bore.
- 3.7. Clean rubber mounting and bore several times using LOCTITE 7063 and wipe dry with a new disposable cloth or paper towel.
- 3.8. Repeat the cleaning process until there is no longer any dirt on the cleaning cloth.
- 3.9. Allow components to dry off for at least 2 minutes.
- Apply adhesive.
- Apply marking → Marking
diagonally with respect to the grooves.
a = 90°
Insert rubber mounting with the applied marking in such a way that the marking is facing exactly in direction of travel.
- Fit assembly fixture as shown → Pressing in rubber mounting
and press in rubber mounting.

- Leave pressed-in rubber mounting to harden for at least 12 hours at a room temperature of at least 20°C. The bonded area must not be moved or subjected to mechanical pressure.
- Remove excess adhesive that has not yet hardened with a cloth (without cleaner).
- Rubber mountings that have been pressed out must not be re-used.
- Perform further installation in reverse order. Pay particular attention to the following:
- 10.1. Use new screws to secure rear axle housing at front to the body.
- 10.2. Tightening torque for rear axle housing at front to body. Initial tightening 115 Nm (85 ft. lb.) Final tightening +90°
