If they are hard, forget it!. if soft, push out the inner brass bushing, then you can push the rubber into the eye of shock or whatever. Then push the brass bushing back into the rubber. I made a sort of pilot to help the thin bushing go into the rubber without cutting it. Sort of looked like a small caliber bullet fitting into its casing. HTH Dennis
