Sway bar won't go back on

JasonNC

I bought the rubber bushings for the rear sway bar and put them on.  Now I can't get the sway bar to line back up.  It's almost as if it shrunk when the new bushings were installed.  Am I missing something here or is there a method for re-installing the sway bar that I'm not a aware of.

Last time I did this, I pretty much used the method Ken described, but I still had to pry the body over just a little in order to get the bolt through.  That was with new springs, as well, which added to the "tightness".
