When I install buishings I sand blast the parts first and sand out any dents and scraps so cracks will not start .I use plastic spacers to press on the new bushings ,not metal so no damage is created .I also ues a press not a vice .Lube the bushings as per the directions .

If not, well I'm sure to be admonished for it.

Jimlab did a writeup when he sold 'unobtanium' bushings.

Different bushings, same process.
