When replacing the stock front sway bar bushings how do you get them to slide onto the sway bar? The new ones are pretty darn tight. Will they stretch enough when heated, will dish soap help them to slide on? The originals were not cut so I'm guessing there must be a trick to get the new ones on.

Yes some can take some work especially if the weather is cold and you don't lube them up

Thanks Jeff, it seems I'm learning something new everyday as I get this car put back together. 8)

I just cut them open with a utility knife. I am almost certain the originals were 'overmolded' onto the bar by the supplier.
