i finally got around to installing the shifter cable bushings tonight...

now, the small one went in fine (only a little fight), but the big one, i could not for the life of me get to go into the ring, i greased it, put it in the freezer for 45 mins (metal shrinks when frozen), but nothing -


a side question, i tried hammering it on, well quick qu. - is the 'plate' that the bushing connect to flat, or does it have a slight bend to it?? i'm not sure if i bent mine in an attempt to get this blasted thing on!!!

anyway, i've given up, put the stock back on... HOW DO I GET THE BUSHING INTO THE RING???? as i say, the small one went in fine, as did the c-clip and cotter pin... but as i say, big one didn't budge.

do i put it in the freezer? will that do the trick, i know grease and lots of elbow grease/preasure didn't work

(also, please see if the plate is flat or slightly bent for the bigger bushing..)

thanks
