I need to replace the firewall bushing on YellowDog. I've got everything ready and shift linkage out of the way. The old one was not there (surpirse) and I have been tring to get the new on in with no luck. I've tried a large deep socket and a mallat, but so far all i've got is a busted knuckle. Anyone got any secret tricks?
TIA

put it in a cup of water and heat it up in the microwave.
that'll soften the plastic. then pound on it with a BFH ...

do that..it works. Mine went in with thumb pressure (tried it cold and no way)

Hot water and larger BFH did the trick! Now, to deal with that flattened out finger that got in the way. Hard to type.
Thanks

I worked the edges in with a screwdriver. Worked for me, but YMMV.

You can try putting your finger in the Microwave....
