    I’m here in fernandina beach Florida. Struggling to get the ECGS bushing in. I have it in the freezer right now. I have the driver set and the 8” bushing from ECGS for my truck. Any advice?

    A little lubrication might help. I remember it starting a little crooked, but worked it's way straight as I kept driving it in. Try leaving it ever so slightly crooked when getting it started.

    I just used a large socket that was similar size as the bushing to drive it in. Good luck.

    It takes some hammering.

    I was scared to break my shit at first, trying to baby tap it in... but after struggling for a few mins i decided it was time for the BFH treatment and beat that bitch in.
