Default A arm bushing question?

I am trying to figure out how to insert the aluminum shaft through the prothane bushing as it is a bit smaller than the shaft. I tried calling prothane but there closed on Friday! Not sure if I can put it in boiling water or something like that? I finally got the other bushing inserts out. The ends tap of so you can install the inserts. Anyway just hoping someone on here knows the trick for inserting the aluminum shaft into the prothane bushing which is front uppers.

Have you called the manufacturer or selling dealer? I’d start there.

you can buy the insert kit from zip corvette then all you have to do is remove the big washer thing from the stock parts and press them onto the new parts, use both washers not the washers that come with the bushings. you can use a press or a bench vise, I have done both, same level of difficulty either way.
