Rear shock install_problems

Yeah those bushings are really tight, they don’t just “pop” on, you have to exert a constant, heavy pressure on them to get them on because you have to compress that center part of the bushing. So banging on them doesn’t work.

When I installed the Hotchkis shocks on my Duster I used a set of channel lock pliers to grab and squeeze them on. I may have had the tank out though and used the tank strap anchor as a point to grab from.
