OME CS033RB bushing size?
Hey guys,
i had planned on bolting up new leafs today but the moog bushings i bought are not fitting. Any suggestions? Ive tried all kinds of ways to press it in short of paying someone. Vices, floor Jack, threaded rod and sockets...
Are original equipment bushings the wrong size?

On BDS leaf-springs I used a 24" pry-bar in gap where wrap of eye meets top leaf. This opens up eye just enough to slip bushing in.

Those are the exact bushings i bought. Hmmm. Maybe i need a bigger hammer...
Prying on the leaf worries me but it may be my only recourse.
Thanks for the reply guys. Sometimes it is hard to get a response on forums.

I managed to get the Moog bushings installed using threaded rod, washers and two 2x4 blocks as washers. worker well until I stripped the threaded rod...
But I did get them all in so the short answer to my original question is:
Yes, Use OEM size bushings on the OME leafs.

I tried this and just stripped the rod. I just took it to a shop with a hydraulic press in the end
