Subject:      How to press in bonded rubber mounting into upper track control
              arm?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


Hello all,


The front drivers side suspension of my 84 was slopping around.
I got the replacement upper bonded rubber mountings 251 407 077 from VanAgain
a while ago.  I got the upper arm off and removed the rubber mountings with
a grinder to cut off the weld spot and a big hammer.


How can I press the new ones in?  I only have a small vice.  Should I get a friend to 
heat up the control arm a little and knock the bushings in?


I put up a diagram at http://www.hawkcomputing.com/vwhelp.jpg 






Thanks for any help.


John
