    Good idea Jeff and I do have another bushing tool with a longer snout on it for just that reason. As I tap the bushing in, I move the tool up and down a bit to feel the tension of the O ring on the snout. Smearing the cavity with Triple Guard grease before inserting the O ring can help to keep water out and corrosion down to.
