This is going to sound silly, but for the life of me, I cannot get the bump stop installed on the upper control arm of my second gen. It's the type with the rubber nipple that just pushes/pulls through. It will not go for for love or money. I have tried dawn, cooking grease, oil, freezing the bushing, using a screw driver to pry it down - nothing. The nipple just deforms and flattens in the slot. Putting a vise grip on it and pulling has only managed to tear the bushing.
Does anyone have any ideas? This seemingly simple task has me at wits end. I'm about this close to giving up and using this as an excuse to buy fancy tubular control arms! Seriously - what's the secret I'm missing?
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Mike
