Help with my new Poly-Urethane parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered a set of Prothane bushings for the rear leaf springs on my '71 Chevy C-10. They are all the same size 1-1/2" diameter. The Frame/Shackle bushing may go into the hole as it is only about an 1/8" difference in size however, the bushings in the leaf springs are a lot smaller. Is there some magic to this? I am afraid if I put them in a press and damage them because they are actually too small I will never see a refund. Any ideas?
