 Larry's is right although I might add that if you used a little Windex
 to slick it up, they will slide right in.

When I did the first side of my B last weekend with the polyurethane bushings,
the new ones slipped right in. The second side is schedule for Sunday
afternoon. 

The biggest problem I had was getting the old V-8 bushings off that I put on
about four years ago. The metal sleeve on the "improved" V-8 bushings has
froze onto the pivot bolt. I hind site, I don't think I liked the V-8
bushings. It will be interesting to see what I say when the polyurethane
bushings wear out and I have to replace them.
