[Spits] Fw: Re: Upper wishbone bush install

[Doug Braun]

Same as for the lower wishbone  :-)

I have always used a puller made from a long bolt and a
bunch of various-sized washers, and the bushings always went
in OK.

Is the hole where the bushing goes reasonably clean and
smooth?

Instead of grease, it would be better to use a water based
lubricant.
You want something that will eventually wash away so the
rubber bushing will not permanently slide in the hole.   Your
local pharmacy will have something suitable :-) 
Alternatively, dish soap (or "washing up liquid"as
they say in Britain) should work well.
