installing new leaf spring bushings?
tried to search, maybe i suck at it, but couldn't find good instructions.
got new leaf springs and bushings and am trying to get the bushings into the eyes of the leaf springs. what's the best way of getting them in there? c-clamp? i don't have a hydraulic press... is that what i need?
thanks,
theo

They are a pressed in fit take them to a machine shop. If nothing else put bushing in freezer overnite you may be able to hammer them in the cold will contract them somewhat.
