Default Anti roll bar bushes

Just purchased a set of poly bushes for the rear anti roll bar.
They are really stiff and I cannot open them enough to slip them over the anti roll bar.
Can these be warmed up to make them more pliable by using hot air gun or leaving in hot water. Not sure if this would warp the bush. Anybody out there got any idea's or should I use normal rubber.

Welcome to the Forums.

When the bushes are sorted, please do an Intro in teh New Members rea.

I have usually boiled them, gloves on,and slip them over. This was the fronts on a V12 XJS, and I am unsure what beast you playing with,
Hot air gun, leave them out in the sun while you drink beer, all would work. Deforming?, not really, unless you are silly with the opening, but you own a Jag, so silly you are not, HA.

Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up Grant. I like the idea of sunshine and beer, will leave the bushes for a warmer day.
