jack it up on the innermost edge, that lip, between the two bushings. Use a crowbar, or big screwdriver, to force the bushing into the slot in the k-member, it will want to twist. make sure front and back are sliding in right. You may have to put a jack stand under the lip/spring perch, and move your jack to right below the bushing itself, and jack there, get one in, then do the other one. They aren't easy, that's for sure. It'll be too far out/in, so you can pry it outwards, and/or lower the car a bit to bring the a-arm in a bit. You'll have to play with it to know what I mean.

 

Check out this thread I posted a couple days ago.

There were a lot of helpful tips in that thread, and a couple other links. After they responded to my thread, I got them in that night. I used the method RBob suggested.

I suggest having help. We had 3 people do it, and they went in fine. Good luck!
