Advice: After removing the beam of the rear bumper, add anticorrosive
protection in the points of contact between the bumper and the bodywork. The
places without anticorrosive protection with bare zinc-coated sheet metal are to
be sprayed twice (min. 25 microns) with anticorrosive filler in spray (Spray Max
1K Acryl Füller). Let the filler dry for about 20 min. at a temperature of about
20° C, and apply preservation wax in spray.
Cutting out a hole in the rear bumper
- 4 -
- Put the removed rear bumper upon a soft felt surface by its inner side upwards.
- Using a suitable tool, mark the centres for drilling four holes in the points of pre-
stamped axial crosses -arrows-.
- 5 -
- Drill holes of the diameter of 10,5 mm in the marked points. Use a drill for metal
sheets (angle of the main cutting tip 180°). Be careful to place the holes precisely.

Fit the prepared punching tool upon the rear bumper in the following way.
- Fit the cutting board (M) upon the lower supporting board (L) with the blade
upwards (towards the bumper).
- Fit this set upon the outer (painted) side of the bumper in such a way that the screws
may pass through the drilled holes.
- From the inner side of the bumper, fit the pressing board (N) upon protruding
shanks of the screws.
- Tighten the complete set slightly by the nuts M 10 (P) with the washer (O). Be
careful to avoid a damage to the painted side of the bumper.
Check the position of the assembled punching tool visually. If needed, adjust its
position slightly with respect to the lower edge of the bumper, in scope of the play
among the screws and the pre-drilled holes in the bumper.
- If everything is in order, tighten the nuts step by step crosswise, always by one
thread at most. Repeat this procedure until the blade of the cutting board comes to
bear upon the upper pressing board. The maximum torque moment of the nuts is
45 Nm. After tightening the nuts, the hole in the bumper is punched.
- 8, 9 -
- Unscrew the nuts M10 and remove the punching tool with care. Remove the
pressing board upwards (from the bumper), pull the cutting and supporting boards
from the finished hole downwards (from the bumper).
- Using a suitable tool, press the punched section out of the cutting board through its
central hole -arrow-.
- With a suitable tool, trim the whole circumference of the hole.
