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? |

It's seated on there nicely: |
