Clutch Peddal Bush

[MacQuigley]

Last night when I tried to reassemble my brake and clutch assembly I could not get the last plastic bush in.



1. And I fitting it correctly ie from the outside?
2. Assuming I am anyone got any tips on how to fit it without damaging it?
3. I suppose I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway, are these bushes really necessary? (I don't suppose they would be there if not)

I'm having to order replacements as I have damaged this one (going to order 4 for spares). This is where its hard and frustrating as it will take about 2 weeks get them over.
