Installing rear drop link bushings Options

[cal44]

Next question.........I need to install the drop link cup bushings for the rear sway bar. I haven't a clue as to the correct way to accomplish the task. The sway bar is currently in the car, I just got the cup bushings yesterday. They look to be a nylon material.

Would ya'all be so kind as give me some direction. I'm sure it must be simple but keep in mind..........I ain't that smart.

Best,

I almost posted a How To last week. Very simple. I didn't want to futz with the boiling water so I placed one in front of a Heat Gun for about 1 minute then placed it in a vise and slowly closed the jaws until it began to get a little crooked and wanted to slip out. Then I squeezed the plastic cup with needle nose piers and nudged it in the offending area with a dull screwdriver and continued cranking on the vise. It gives up and slide in. I had my head in my arse when I did the 2nd one and had to remove it. Also simple. Grab 2 sockets. One that will fit against the opening of the drop link but large enough for the plastic cup to pass thru and another that will fit inside the plastic cup. Then close the vise jaws while it is still warm and it will pop right out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
