Fitting moustache bar bushes

[Riceburner]

I have a new set of superpro (purple) urethane bushes I need to fit to my bar, I know how to remove the originals but, how do I fit these one piece units? I dont have a press, would a set of bearing pullers and a large socket be strong enough to push them through?

[benny]

could you just slice them and push them over the bar like the prothane ones!!

[Riceburner]

I was thinking of doing that Benny, but I figured they're in one piece for a reason. New I should of got prothane, but these were cheap at the time  lol

You could try using a large vice, G-man, but you better have had your Weeties....

good idea with the vice Lurch, maybe try a breaker bar on the vice handle

after burning out the original bush , i had to cut out the outer bush sleeve before fitting new bush. they will push in by hand will take some effort they are tight

[Riceburner]

I got these in today with a little bit of work, they were the one piece purple superpro bushes. It's as Datozed says.... I tried pressing in the bushes without removing the outer shells, no chance. I then cut them out and was able to press them, still required a moderate amout of force. They are a really tight fit and should be a big improvement over the original bushes.
