WD40 and a vise is a big help.

I used WD-40 and a 2 pair of channel lock pliers, it takes a few tries but you'll figure it out.

Ok, I'll try that. How about to get the bushins with the metal ring, how do I get those off. Those are a pain in the ***! LOL

EDIT: Just curious, why use the WD-40? What does it do?

On those I cut the rubber edge off one end, heated them up with a propane torch and hammered them off over the top of a socket. Hope this helps.

also, WD 40 make them slip on easier. Use the lube that came with them when you put then back on the bar.
