The OEM and Nismo Bushings come assembled with the metal sleeve in them. So you would need to press out your old bushings including the metal sleeve out of your subframe (the current state your subframe is in) to press these in. Now if you wanted to use the bushings you bought all you had to do was burn the old bushing out with a torch, keeping the metal sleeve in place and then would have been able to install your new inserts. No need to have taken it to a shop. But if you still want to use the ones you bought you are going to have to press in some oem or nismo bushings and then burn them out. Waste of money if you ask me. Just go with the Nismo set, Solid alum. Subframe bushings, or buy a different subframe and sell the ones you have.
