Replaced my guide rod mount and bearing bracket bushings today. What are the consequences of having the bushings not be full seated? I could not get the things all the way in no matter what I did, all 4 are currently about 1/4in from being flat with the bottom of the bracket. Are they likely seat themselves over time, or should I try to obtain/make the tool in the FSM used to press them?
