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

As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

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.
