QA1 installation?

For those of you who have installed the front qa1's I have a question. My shocks did not come with the t-bar already installed, how in the hell do you install those things without distorting the crap out of the bushing? Any help would be great.

Put some grease inside the bushing and on the t-bar. That's what I did with my Doetsch shocks.

I had to grind out the bushing that was in there, and press in the one that came with the t-bar.

I've done it before with Doetsch Techs. Take out the bushing, put the bar through the bushing, grease it and then push the bushing into the shock. It will take some effort, but it's easier than pushing it in with the bushing still in the shock.
