Scheme 26: Removal
  1. NOTE: There are 2 RDU rear bushings in the rear subframe. This procedure shows how to remove one bushing. The procedure for the remaining RDU bushing is identical. Remove the RDU. REFER to «AXLE ASSEMBLY»(ref-517546-S16661696012012121200000) .
  2. NOTE: The RDU 204-618 /1 must be used to remove the bushing to make sure that it passes through the receiver cup. NOTE: Make sure the RDU 204-616 /2 is positioned with the larger opening toward the bushing to act as the receiver cup. NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the RDU 204-616 is pointed toward the rear subframe when removing the bushing. Assemble the RDU 204-618 and the 204-616 to the rear subframe and press out the bushing.

  1. NOTE: There are 2 RDU rear bushings in the rear subframe. This procedure shows how to install one bushing. The procedure for the remaining RDU bushing is identical. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks on the RDU 204-616 /2 are aligned with the anti-rotation tabs on the RDU bushing. Install the RDU bushing into the RDU 204-616 .
  2. NOTE: Make sure the alignment marks are properly aligned on both the RDU 204-616 /1 and RDU 204-616 /2 and the anti-rotation tabs are properly seated in the RDU 204-616 . Install the RDU 204-616 onto the RDU bushing.
  3. NOTE: Make sure the arrow on the RDU 204-616 /2 is visable on the bottom and is facing away from the subframe. The arrow must remain straight so the bushings are correctly indexed into the subframe. NOTE: When installing the RDU bushing, RDU 204-616 /2 will fall away as the RDU bushing is installed into the subframe. The RDU 204-616 does not control the depth of the bushing. The RDU bushing is fully seated when the RDU 204-616 /3 and RDU 204-616 /1 fall away from the subframe, do not continue to tighten the RDU 204-616 . Install the RDU bushing into the subframe.
  4. Install the RDU. REFER to «AXLE ASSEMBLY»(ref-517546-S16661696012012121200000) .
