New bushings, trouble putting rear suspension back together
So i've had some friends with more experience and tools than I have help me out and do all my bushings for me, I'm now getting around to putting the suspension back on the car. I'm having a lot of trouble with the rear where the lower arm pillow ball connects to the wheel hub on both sides. It just will not slide into place, no matter what i do.
is there a trick to getting this bastard back into place?
Quick picture for reference, this is from above the driver side, the outside pillow ball on the left of the picture is the one I'm having problems with

There's a sleeve right there that you have to push outwards in order for the new pillow ball to slide in. Think along the lines of spreading the front caliper pistons in to install new brake pads. You have to spread this sleeve out a little bit to make room for the pillow ball.
