Anyone have advice on installing new bushings in the rear stabilizer?

The bushings usually slide into the droplinks fairly easily.
The hard part is getting the ball pressed into the bushing. I drill a small hole in the center of the bushing to let the air escape, then lube them up and use a c-clamp or similar tool to press the stabilizer ball into the bushing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Tried grease, nothing... |

You need a BF pair of channel Locks to get the ball into the bushing. Squeeze until it hurts then squeeze some more. Grease helps. Just replaced one last month.
