I currently have them at -10f in the freezer as I have done with other bushings in the pas. I will heat the swing arm to expand it prior to pressing. But I will definitely take your advice about trying to pre compress the bushing prior to installing. The scoring on the bore was just odd and not like anything I have ever seen before. I have done a ton of bushing replacements but this set just was very different
