Is there a secret that helps get new bushings seated in the wiper swing arm pins? Do you press fit in a vice? Heat the bushing end in hot water then press fit on? Any help would be appreciated.

Large channel locks will pop it on. I put a rag over the teeth.
 
The channel locks worked but I had to dip them in boiling water for a minute to softing them up first. Got 3 of the 4 on but the last just would not go. I removed it from the link and will have to buy another bushings to replace it. I can't remember where I got these from but would rather try another source. Lots of places sell them. Any suggestion on where to buy from?
