Default Front LCA/Tie bar help please

So I had to pull my front lower tie bar off of my del slow the other day to get my header off. Now that I am bolting things back together the inner most bushings on the front LCA's dont want to line up with the holes where they mount ( the sheet metal mounts). They sit about 1/8 inch too far to the outside. I have jacked and beaten and done every other thing I could think of... no luck. I didn't have this problem when I put it on in the first place. Any little trick I am missing ?

Can you take channel locks and manipulate the LCA in to place?

yeah I tried that, no luck. This is also with all other suspension components still in. Is my only option going to be to pull everything apart so there is no tension on anything ? What I just dont get is why it didnt do this the first time around.

Well I came up with a ghetto fab way of doing it and it worked perfectly. Put my traction bar back on and used the arm that connects to LCA to move it. Combine that with a jack under it and you can move that thing all around with ease.
