Torque Arm Install Problems

So I went to put my torque arm back in last night, but the rubber hole in the mount just seems too damn small - which I know it's not because it's the same mount from before. I took down the mount so I would be able to work with it easier in the garage, slide the T/A end into the mount, then reinstall them (already attached) onto the car. Is that okay?

Also, do I use grease or oil or anything on the end of the T/A that goes into the mount?

Thanks.

How can the hole be too small? Did you crimp it BEFORE installing the torque arm?

Maybe I just wasn't being patient enough, but I couldn't get it in to save my life. I just took the torque arm mount down, mounted the torque arm to it, then bolted them both back up.

It worked fine.
