New urethane shackle bushings

Got new ones but they don't fit because their is a spacer in the shackle and springs do you have to remove the spacer looks like they are in their to stay.

Re: New urethane shackle bushings

Looks like the outer shell of a rubber bushing is still in there.

A new rubber bushing would not fit without pressing it out either
