problems with energy suspension control arm bushings

Hey guys. I just got done installing my factory control arms with ES poly bushings. Let me say what a pain in the butt. In my opinion something that is made for your car, to go in factory control arms should not require the amount of effort to install. I am not the car's only owner, so I dont know much about its history, that said I dont see any thing that would make me think there was any "crash" damage. The arms came out pretty easy with the old rubber bushings. Has anyone else had a similar experience with these things or did everything go together nice and easy?

front or rear arms? if they are fronts, and the bushings are not pressed on all the way, they will be hard to install. not so much in the rear.

large hammer usually works well
