I was replacing the lowest bushing on my transfer case linkage on my TJ since the old one wore out and i lost my driveline today. But i cant get the new bushing to go all the way in the hole in the arm extending from the transfer case. Its in far enough that it does not move around and i can also engage 4 high and 4low but its clearly not all the way through. What should i do?:confused:

Let it sit in a cup of hot water befire pressing it through the hole. Even then, it may take a love tap from a ball-peen to persuade it home. Just remember to back the lever with something solid, you don't want it (the lever) to move too much.

I did do that and put grease on it so it would slide through better but it still didnt want to go in, but ill try using more force today.
Thanks for the input.

I took the whole thing apart and put it back toghter in a different order and it went toghter much easier and is now all the way in.
