The bushings are 2 piece, the 2 half's just slip into the eyes in the leafs from either side.
There's a metal tube that goes thru the middle of the bushings and the bolt goes thru that once they're in place.
Try dry-fitting them on the ground, it's pretty much idiot proof.
Lube everything!

BFH!
I put the bushings in the freezer overnight prior to installation.

Both shrinks it and makes it physically harder, making it easier to install.
