Default Robostrut bushings tight fit - help please

I have fitted Robart 615 retracts to my CMPro 1.20 Corsair, plus 650 Robostruts. All good, except that the supplied bushings are an exceedingly tight fit into the barrel of the Robostrut. Is this normal? I am afraid that if I attempt to hammer the bushing down that it will jam partway!!! Also, because of the design of the strut, it is not possible to place any significant back pressure without dismantling the strut?

Reading other postings in this forum, it seems that some people are able to easily slide the bushing into place with JBWeld then holding it tight?

Can somebody please help me out of this dilemma?

Thanks,
Bill
