Front Engine Subframe Bush Tool - VAG
Tool for extracting and reitting the two-part engine support steady bar bush as itted to
the front subframe of VAG models listed. If an ordinary puller were to be used, the two-
part bush will jam in the steady bar aperture as it is withdrawn; similarly a new bush will
jam against the aperture as it is inserted. This kit includes components to seal off the side
of the aperture to enable easy extraction and insertion of the bushes. The tool also allows
the job to be carried out without removing the subframe from the vehicle, making this a
considerable time saver for the workshop as well as making it a one-man job.

14. Before commencing the insertion process, once again check that everything is still in
alignment and at 90º to the subframe. There are two vertical lines on the B5 insertion
guide tube to assist with this.
15. Steadily turn the bottom nut on the force screw (B14) to pull the two-part bush up and
into the subframe. Do not use power tools to turn the nut.
16. Once the new two-part bush is in position, unscrew the top nut from the force screw
and remove all the puller components. Then remove the adjustment bracket B9 and
the aperture plug mounting bar B7.
17. Retrieve the bush alignment insert (B10) from inside the aperture and then reit the
steady bar and the steady support bracket.
18. Reit the four (4) anti roll bar (sway bar) mounting bolts and the anti roll bar drop link.
Precautions:
•
Always refer to manufacturer's documentation before commencing the job.
•
The force screws (B15 and B14) must be adequately lubricated with molybdenum
disulphide grease before use.
•
Do not use air and/or impact power tools with the force screws. This will void the
warranty.
•
Before attempting to insert the new two-part bush, the main bush aperture in the
subframe must be carefully cleaned to remove any dirt and corrosion. (Wear eye
protection.)
•
The subframe bush aperture and the both halves of the new two-part bush must be
lubricated (white silicone grease) before itting.
•
After use clean all components thoroughly, particularly ensuring that the force screw
(B15 and B14) threads are clean and free from swarf, rust particles and grit.
•
Store the tool and components in a dry place.
•
Do not use the 6250 bush tool if any parts are damaged or missing; this may cause
failure and / or personal injury.
•
Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. If lifting the vehicle with a
jack it must be securely supported on safety axle stands.
•
Note: always wear safety goggles, safety hat and safety boots when working under a
car.
