So, how does one remove and then reinstall the rubber bushing from the supporting mount? I have a press, but I'm scratching my head about how best to tackle this. Can't seem to find any relevant threads on this topic...

I bought the polygraphite upper strut mounts from another vendor last week before I knew 914 rubber was offering them.
Inner half seems to seat completely; outer (top) half doesn't completely seat up against the steel cup. I wonder if it's supposed to be this way? There is about 3-4mm of space between the mount and the steel cup. are you getting complete seating of this mount from 914 rubber? |

Most companies made these to fit 911 mounts. They are different even tho they have the same part number. Some are not dished on the top to contour to the big washer. Elephant Racing corrected theirs. |
