Re: rear spring bushing help
If I am reading your post correctly the sleeve from the old bushings is still in the spring eye and it should come out before installing the new bushings.

Re: rear spring bushing help
hope this helps
i have a 72 1/2ton c-10 lwb chevy with heavy duty rear leaf springs.i tried everywhere online and with vendors on the board to find new bushings with no luck.well i finally found them in stock at local napa parts store.id seen a post on here along time ago that someone else had the same problem.tha napa part # is 274-1185 for$9.72 each at first they gave me part #274-6459 which may have been for regular springs but they was a little to small for the heavy duty springs. hope this helps someone
