So press the center one down until its top is flat to the oustide bushing? If that makes any sense...

I took a thin long punch, and stuck it into the hole, there is a small lip inside you can "hook" onto with the punch and hammer the "cup" out. Then flip it and do the other side. Took me 10 min to do both.

sorry I didn't get the pic, but sounds like you didn't need it.



I thought the instructions I read with the dtss bushings said to make the lip of the inner bushing even with the larger bushing, leaving the inner protrusion of the smaller bushing sticking out. I don't know if that makes sense, I'll see if I can find my instructions.

Let me know if you can't find replacements, I'm sure I have some extras.
