While I have heard that the firewall was built around these things, I
suppose that new ones can actually be installed. Everyone I have talked to
about this has split those bushings and then rotated them into place with
plenty of vaseline, etc. I think one of the best ideas I heard was to heat
them in boiling water to soften them slightly, then try to get them in
place before they cool. I recall Scott Paisley simply used 3/8" vacuum
hose lubricated with a silicon grease.
