OH- two words of advice.

Before you start disassembling the assembly on the bench, take some paint and mark the front of both the old and new rubber supports.

After you have the old one apart you will get confused as to which way faces front. BTDT. If they are marked, no problem.

Also, be a little repectful of the two metal dust caps that protect both ends of the bearing. It's very easy to damage these and I don't think these are commonly available- probably a dealer item. Cheap enough, but will mean a trip in the middle of your job.

Cheers
