On my wiper mount, it wasn't too hard to work them on using a dull
rounded-tip smallish screwdriver.  I started in one point (obviously!) and
worked that through, then all the way around.  Wasn't too hard, IIRC.

With rubber, one is more likely to have a soapy solution help installation
than warming the bushing.

Some people cut them in half and install the rubber bushes that way.  I had
no need to consider that.

BR,
