coilover top mount question MK3

[marky-gee]

when fitting coilovers is the order of fitting

1. strut

2. springs over strut

3. top cup

4 bearing

5. mount

6 nut

Im asking as i'm unsure of 4-5-6 does the rubber mount sit between the nut and bearing or does the rubber mount sit on top ? as ive tried both ways nut on last seems really tight and rubber mount on last seems wrong

I`m confused also tbh.

On that guide in the maintenance section someone was saying that the shoulder nut goes on the spring plate and the bearing goes on top of the shoulder nut confused tbh..
