Remove

Always replace the elastomer bearings (2a, 2b) in pairs. The following tools are required from the extraction and insertion tool:

thrust piece (07) 204 589 00 43 07
counterholder (08) 204 589 00 43 08 (with elastomer bearing (2a))
counterholder (016) 231 589 00 43 02 (with elastomer bearing (2b))
spindle (011) 204 589 00 43 11
sleeve (012) 204 589 00 43 12

Mark installation position of respective elastomer bearing (2a, 2b) (arrow) and transfer to new elastomer bearing.
The installation position (direction of travel) is marked on the elastomer bearing (2b).
Attach thrust piece (07), counterholder (08) (with elastomer bearing (2a)), counterholder (016) (with elastomer bearing (2b)), spindle (011) and sleeve (012) with hollow cylinder (015) and retaining belt (014) to elastomer bearing (2a, 2b).
Connect hand pump by means of hydraulic hose (013) on hollow cylinder (015).
Press elastomer bearing (2a, 2b) out of rear axle carrier (4).
The counterholder (016) (with elastomer bearing (2b)) must be positioned such that the marking "L" or "R" on the relevant side points to the outer side of the vehicle.

Mount hollow cylinder (015) such that pressure piston extends upward.

Otherwise the thrust arm can be damaged.

Install
Make a true vertical marking (arrow) as a guide on the elastomer bearing (2a, 2b).
The following tools are required from the extraction and insertion tool:
- thrust piece (09) 204 589 00 43 09 (with elastomer bearing (2a))
- thrust piece 231 589 00 43 01 (with elastomer bearing (2b))
- counterholder (010) 204 589 00 43 10
- spindle (011) 204 589 00 43 11
- sleeve (012) 204 589 00 43 12
- 6.1) With elastomer bearing (2a) Coat new elastomer bearings (2a) with lubricant.
- 6.2) With elastomer bearing (2b) Coat new elastomer bearings (2b) with insertion agent.
Attach thrust piece (09) (with elastomer bearing (2a)), thrust piece (with elastomer bearing (2b)), counterholder (010), spindle (011) and sleeve (012) with hollow cylinder (015) and retaining belt (014) to elastomer bearing (2a, 2b).
Press elastomer bearing (2a, 2b) into rear axle carrier (4).
