Replacing the silent blocks of the suspension arms (Mazda Familia BF)

The rear silent block of the suspension arm is replaced without the use of a special tool, since it is pressed only by the central nut. The front silent block is replaced using a special tool in the following order:

• remove the suspension arm;
• cut off the silent block head at the flange in the front part of the lever;
• press the silent block out of the lever using a vice, mandrel and support ring (fixture 49 B 092 625);
• using a vice and tool 49 B 092 625, press in the new silent block until its flange rests against the lever socket;
• install the suspension arm.
