ive got the rod, and i got a little bag with some grease in it with a tiny little spacer, similar to one thats fitted in one of the ends of the rod. This isnt needed. if you struggle to get the 'un-bushed' side on, what i did was put it in the oven for a bit (you judge how hot and how long for) and then used a mallet to knock it onto the axle,went straight on. send me a PM if you need any help!
