Just received the new Progressive shock bushing I have one small question HOW IN THE &#!! do you get them in. I have tried a bench vise and stopped because it looked like I would split them into before it would go in. Any thoughts on this.

I used a bench vice and wd40. Do not try to put the steel sleeving in at the same time. You have to get the rubber bushing in before you can put the sleeving in. Then after you get the buhsing in you can slip a 1 inch long 5/8" O.D. sleeve into the bushing as a guide. then use the bench vice to push the 5/8" I.D. sleeve into place. Take your time.
Hope this makes sense.
