I just tried the hammer and that's not working. It from lookin at it it seems like the spring eye is not quite circular shaped. The brushig will not go in. I not even making any headway when I pound on it with a rubber mallet. Lubricating it doesn't look like it will help becuse the brushing...

I'm replacing the rear leafs in my 88. The brushings are not fitting into the new leafs. I'm using crown replacement parts. Should I pound the brushings into the spring?
