Jon,
I never tried this but it is worth a shot.
This is what you will need.
1 long screw
2 big washers(little bigger than the bushing)
1 large size socket (20mm or enought that the bushing falls into it.)
1 nut for the screw.
Put the washer then the bushing through the screw. Pass the screw,washer and
bushing into the firewall. On the other end of the the firewall, place the
socket then washer through the screw. Now tighten the nut until the bushing
pops into place. You may want to add a little lubricant to the bushing.
I used that trick on my trailing arm bushings and it worked fine.
Good luck,
Patrick

Subject: TR6 - gas pedal rod
I need some help listers! How do you get the hard
plastic bushings into the firewall that holds that gas
pedal rod (this is the piece that attaches to the carb
linkage) in place?
I have tried using soap and putting the bushings into
hot water...didn't help much. Should I boil the heck
out of the bushings? 10-15 minutes - is that too long?
These bushings are sooooo hard (I just can't get them
into the firewall)...please help me!
Thanks,
Jon
