Are you fitting the bush the right way around?

You can put a hose clamp on the end of the bush to crush the bush enough to get it started in the k-frame.

Well there you go, after reading the helpful lads above and not having the suggested tools I came up with the hose clamp over the end, then a g clamp to push it in. Very happy now!
