Project Car magazine this month shows that they used a long bolt with washers to essentially pull the bushing through the opening. I saw someone else do that (don't remember if it was Zilvia or NICO site).

I took an easier route (maybe dumber, time will tell). I cut them with straight tin snips, curled them in, and used the inner spacer to fill them into the hub. I used a 6" clamp to drive the spacer in. I say this could be dumber as I don't 100% know it will hold up for 100,000 miles. I haven't got my S14 back on the street yet. I couldn't see an immediate danger from the lazy way.
