I am in the process of changing the front sway bar bushings and links on my 2013 Ram 1500 Hemi. I bought a kit that includes 2 bushings and 2 links. My question is with the bushings. The bushings seem to be so stiff that it's impossible to open them enough to get them around the bar. I have only been able to open them about a 1/2 inch. Is there any "trick" to this? It's cold here in the northeast so I have tried worming them up before I attempted the install. This helped a little, but I still can't open them enough to get over the bar. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
