Hi all - anybody know a trick to pressing the new rubber bumpers into the front spring bumper retainers? Thats the retainer on top of the spring that the ubolts sit on.

Tried a vise and a 1 ton arbor press with no luck. Are the bumpers too big? Freeze em? Boil em? Cut em down?

Never mind- Grease is the word. Slid right in with bearing grease and the arbor press.
