Bought some front LCA's from another member, along with other stuff. The LCA's came with red urethane [Prothane?] bushings already installed. First one went on just as Prothane instructed - with "slight forward pressure to the rear of the new bushing with pry bar or other method".
Second one is so far away from the base of the LCA mounting stud [~10mm] that bolt holes are not visible through mounting holes in the bearing shell. Moderate persuasion with a dead blow hammer has no effect on the position of the bushing. Logic suggests that a session with a HD shop press [not in my shop] could move the bushing into place.
Should I press against the bushing itself, or use a drift to press against the inner shell? Or do something else altogether?
