I did this some years ago so hope that my memory is OK .
Start by thoroughly cleaning the spring eye then leave the spring in
the sun or somewhere hot.Check and clean the outer metal bush
& put it in the deep-freeze for about 20 minutes.Then you grease
the spring eye and quickly press in the bush with a vice or pull it in
with a long bolt & nut with plain washers.
Good luck.
