What is the easiest way of getting new bump stop rubbers back into the control arms? Unsuccessful so far.

Little bit of rubber grease works wonders

Thanks Ken and FC 427 for the hints. After a few trys I found it was easy to fit them by putting the control arm against one jaw of the vice and the bump stop against the other jaw squeeze them in. I used rubber grease for the first two but I found it unnecessary for the others. On the jaw that had the control arm resting against it I used a small piece of timber and some rag to protect the new paint on the control arms. Very quick doing it this way.
