No slit in replacement bushings

About to upgrade me F41 92 Trans Am with a 24mm sway bar from a 91 WS6 Formula. Ordered some AC Delco Professional Polyurethane bushings part number 45G0548 (88912317). The problem is they dont have a slit in them and there is no way to put them on the sway.
Anyone else run into this?
Anyone know which bushings i should order?

Online pictures show a slit in the side. Yours must have been made on a friday. I would just use a razor and make one carefully.

i cut them with a sharp blade, i was surprised how easy it was. just in case i ordered some Moog 24mm Thermoplastic ones, turns out they are for the front of a Mustang. K90399, 24mm with brackets. $14 at O'Reilly's
