Well if you read the article carefully it explains the problem you are having. There is a metal retainer in the hole in the sway bar. The retainer is inside bushing. You just take out the metal retainer and the bolt with fit through. Since the bolt will now just be going through the hole in the middle of the bushing you should be able to squeeze it trough since the bushing it soft and can be squished.

i don't have that metal retainer in the bushing i never have, the endlink can go throught the bushing but its to short to thread the nut onto it

You just have to squish the bushing. You get an air gun and a nut and you stuff it on there.

The bushing will last (it isn't a necessary bushing anyway), it just might rip out of the sway bar like mine did. However you might also rip your subframe. I just put a washer on before the bolt so that it would not rip out of the sway bar. That still doesn't solve the subframe problem though.

I talked slightly about how and why NOT to use the ITR endlink bushing in this post:

I also make the kit described. Hope it helps.
