    Default 730i/replacing rear axle carrier rubber mounting/easy?

    Hi,

    both of my rear rubber mounting (part #2 in diagram below) for rear axle carrier are busted. I need to replace them.

    Appreciate for comment on replacing them:
    - is it DIY? (I can change absorber on my own.. so i'm a bit DIYer)...
    - other than the rubber mounting, what else critical to replace at the same time?
    - Can i do this alone?
    - how to push out the old rubber?
    - and how to push in the new rubber mounting?

    thanks in advance,
    rahman

    I assume you mean the beer cans. There is a lot in archives here in the 5 series forum, or here

    Hi Shogun,
    Thanks for the link. Yup, it's the beercan. But after looking at some of the postings, i think will change the pitman arm bushes as well...
