The perfect bushing install is black magic! Start with burying chicken

guts
on a full moon...then follow Herold's advice.


And, throw the bushing in the freezer before you press it in. You'll do less
damage to your aluminum that way.



If you freeze the bushings and heat the aluminum to 250 degrees, the
bushings will drop in, but you only got a couple of seconds to get them
in the right place so I put a mechanical stop on the end so it is placed
right.
