Rear spring bumper installation

[57 Ford Kustom]

Guys,
   Does anyone have a easier way of installing rear spring rubber bumper stops?
Thanks,
Tim

Watching this with interest as I still haven't installed mine, tried many times using G-clamps, hammers, WD40, swearing and all failed.  I did think about drilling a hole through the arrow-shaped tag that goes through the chassis bracket to make it easier to compress and install but so far not got round to trying it.

Limey,
   My Son in Law showed up and had it installed in seconds! Basically, you need to put one end of the bumper into the beginning of the slot, then slid it along the groove while pushing upward. It basically self feeds itself, I haven't done it my self yet, but it looks like it's all technique. Good luck!

I guess I did mine the hard way after reading Limey. I greased the lip on mine and pushed it in with the flat base on my 4 ton porta-power. It snapped right in.
