Hey guys got really smart low mileage mr260 st225 in perf blue. Mot advisory was on fromt control arm rear bushes.... Done these heaps of times on my e36/e46 bmws ive had!
Bought some purple powerflex ones .... How the bleeding heck do you get them in? I have used m16 thread bar, steam caps spacers, large washers etc etc, got them almost all the way in with about 5 mm left to go as the securing lip/step wont go past the fold in the bracket you press them into. Any idea welcome!

P.s i have fitted lots of powerflex products on my own cars before and never come across one this awkward.... Not even found a oem one this awkward to fit!
