Default booger bushing help! quick!

Hey, I'm trying to get them on. I just installed the Maddog STS 72%. Thats in. I got one bushing on the left side of you are looking through the front windshield. The right one won't budge at all. the left one was pretty easy and didn't need any lube. The left one has been soaked in lube and it won't budge. It goes in slightly but it gets stuck where the bushing gets smaller. Me and my brother got a wood stub and tried bushing but it won't budge at all.

Any help?!

I put some oil on the bushings so they would go on easier because without it was hard to push on. Gosh that sounded wrong.....but yeah.

well I finally got them in. I'm pretty sure there are 2 sizes. But I just did them on the shifter frame. I had the right sizes and lubed second one. The first one went in pretty easy without any lube. Then the second time I couldn't get it in so I put some lube on. Pushed and got nothing. Tried a different bushing and lubed it. Nothing...Then I got my brother and we were both pushing and it felt like me eyes were going to explode. We fiiinally got it in. Geeze...that was waaay harder than the shifter linkage lol. Actually...once I found a good place to grip the linkage came of easy.
