Roll bar poly bushing installation

[TR6-ATX]

Can someone help with instructions for installing the polyurethane bushing on the roll bar? As you can see the hole is much smaller than the flat area where is attaches to the link assembly. If you have installed these in the past, did you heat the bushing to get it over the flat area? If so, what did you use to heat the bushing without distorting it too much? Thanks!

Is there no slit allowing the bushing to open up? With a very sharp knife you could cut one. IIRC the bushings I installed several years ago had one but I can’t remember where I got them. Certainly the ones I put on my wife’s Forester had a slit in them for this reason.

i find your favorite type of slippery and a firm wrap with a hammer will do. I like dead blow hammers
