Message Did not use the round ring and just used the flat metal plate against the opening in the subframe so it would pull straight. Once I had it almost all the way through, I unbolted the setup and inserted the ring and pulled it the rest of the way through. It took a couple of tries but the trick was to apply opposite pressure to the 1/2" rod and just keep cranking and it pulled right in. The use of the old Inner bushing and a modified front bushing does not allow a lot of play on the rear busing during install so you can actually guide the bushing in while your cranking. Here a few pictures of the setup.

You have to cut the ends off one of the old front bushings. The one side so that it will set flush inside the old inner rear bushing case and the other to give enough room when installing the passenger side bushing

This is the old front modified bushing inside the old rear inner busing metal sleeve. This whole setup is then inserted into the ES bushing and the only thing on the end is the nut. This gave just enough clearance to install the passenger side bushing without a problem.
