Default Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit bushing replacement

I wanted to share my experience with others who do the replacement of the bushings in the Sk2 Pro Rear Camber kit. I am not trying to discuss the pros and and cons of having the camber kits, though some may suggest tossing the kit instead of repairing. The replacement seemed straight forward, remove the arms, and then remove the circlip holding the bushings on the car body end. The RTA end is a slide out metal sleeve, then the bushings. The replacement went fine until I tried to put the new bushings in. They did not fit. Sorry for the poor picture quality, but the new bushing is on the L and the old, R. Old 8 slots, new, 5 slots. It is hard to demonstrate, but there is a rounded inside edge on the new bushing and it does not allow the new bushing to slide in all of the way. Old has a clear 90 degree edge, and new is rounded, a bluish looking ring in the picture. Also there is a slight lip/ring under the Sk2 imprint on the outside. Both of these changes cause the bushing to be wider than the circlips allow. I used a Dremel cutting disk to carefully remove the rounded inside corner all the way around the bushing, and then sanded off the outside lip until the bushings fit between the circlips, when inserted in the arm.
