You are correct. Mine were not bought from C&D (darn it!). Neverthess, do check the OD on those from C&D before trying to install, just to be sure you have a proper (that is, not impossible) interference fit.

Here is an update.

After pressing the siezed shaft out, I used a hacksaw (yikes!) to cut grooves in the remaining outer bushes. With patience I was able to make the bushes collapse in on themselves. Will be replaced with solid spindle silent blocs from C&D  *smile*
