Pounding out the old bushings and install the new; they fit fine, I'm running them.
I used a socket (BIG) the same size as the bushing to push it out, kept a block of wood in the LCA itself so the walls would not crush. Put it all in a vice and pound out the bushing. Pound the new one in. Had to spray WD40 to get the old one out, it had some rust on it.

This is what 1LE cars came with. I have boxed stockers
but that was not done by the factory.
I used a hydraulic press, PVC 2" pipe as the base hole
and a largeish socket for the push. I did not see any
deformation in the 1LE (unboxed) donor arms but then,
they were "disposable" as far as I was concerned.
