I had the same problem a while back. The opening on the set I got was just too small to have any chance of fitting back on that metal mushroom. I was convinced I got the wrong part. I was told that it can easily be hammered on with the axle out of the car, but I wasn't going to do that for a bump rubber. I ended up flipping it around. It works but is not quite as tight as I would like. Maybe others have a better idea.

I thinned the rubber a bit, then lubed it up with glycerin and muscled it on. Seems tight and has been on for many years and countless miles.

Most off that stuff works like replacing the old solid rubber tires on bicycle rims. Soak it in scalding hot water and the rubber expands and gets much softer.

I tried that first Kim, but after a few failed attempts and some first degree burns, I got out my pocket knife and taught that little rubber knob who was in charge. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
