Rear shock help

Just pulled the old ones, and can't even get to installing the new ones. I'm having issues getting the pin through the bushings on the new shocks. Any ideas? I pulled the bushing out and put the pin through it and am now trying to get the pin/bushing back into the shock with no success.
 
put the rubber bushing in first, then press the pin through with a little liquid soap on the bushing inner. i use a vise with either a steel tube or an old (cheap) deep socket that will allow the pin to go in the tube, but the tube edge presses against the rubber bushing.
