So im replacing my pitted stanchions with new ones and im fine with the strip and rebuild however it states that "if removing bottom bush" new ones should be fitted.

So, my question is.

if i purchase new bush's how do i fit them to a new tube, is it the case of simply stretching the gap with a screwdriver and sliding it on and into the recess, if so why cant i just re use the old bush's ? or is there a more specific method of fitting?
