Poly bushing install

["Myron Ware" <cmw@domain.elided>]

Hello all,
  I'm just getting around to installing the poly spring bushings I 
got for Christmas.  Needless to say, it's not going as quickly as I'd 
envisioned.  The old rubbers have no surrounding metal sleeve to 
press out, and they were also a two-piece type, so removal was no big 
deal.  I cleaned the surface inside the spring and inserted both 
sides of the new bushings and the shoulders will fully contact the 
spring eye on both sides.  When I use the bolt-method to pull the 
inner sleeve through though, it appears the bushings will squeeze out 
about 1/16" or so as it's pulled through.  I've checked that there's 
no grease between them creating a hydraulic action, and even lopped 
off a small amount from the end of one bushing to give a small air 
gap, and that only helped a bit.  What am I missing here?  I'm using 
large washers with appropriate-sized sockets to do the pushing when I 
turn on the nut/bolt setup.  Any helpful hints will be greatly 
appreciated,
