Default Sway Bar Bushing

Sorry to bring this up again, but the search isn't working.

Is there any trick to getting the sway bar end bushings on?

Thanks

That helped, but I still can't get it on past a certain point.

Come on GT, put some PORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA yell into it. It will go on after that.

I do recall many, many swear words helped too. Something along the lines of you German BASTARDS worked too.

Today I used spray silicone lubricant (3in1 brand, I think). Works great on the middle bushings too. But I just left my original end bushings in the links and reinstalled them. I couldn't face getting the the old ones out of the links and the new ones in. How does that go?

Di-electric grease. I use that on rubber bushings to lube them.
