ok now i have to ask for pictures of said problem

yay! finally figured out how to get my bushings in!! I took a set of needlenose pliars and (while the pliars were closed) put them inside the metal bushing hole and pushed em right through. it was super easy. before i tried prying them out. using a needlenose and pushin em through was SO much easier
