Red face Lower Control Arm bumpers '66 C10

Does anyone have any good ideas for installing new LCA bump stops? I tried beating with a hammer, pressure from below using a lift, wiggling them in, heating them, soaping, greasing - they won't go. Ugh.

I slid mine in using Dawn dish soap. It was not easy feat but they will eventually go in. Are you trying to push them in? or slid them in from the side. Sliding them is how I did it.

Yeah, I think I slide mine in from the end, using a lot of silicon spray. You will likely never push them straight in.

Thanks, I'll try silicone and working them in from the side.
