Quite possibly a stupid suspension ? but befuddled on this

[rcraig]

So I took out my left rear spring. The rubber bump stop(?) down the center of the spring and attached to the upper perch popped off. There is a dinky ass hole on the top of the rubber bump stop and a big shroom headed stud (like a carriage bolt) it has to go back on. Does not appear the stud comes off. Lube and force won't get this sucker back on it. I've seen pregnancies easier than this. Is it just old and too hard? Heat it up with a heat gun, lube everything up and pray? Most likely I am missing the obvious? I am installing Ireland stage 1 springs so guessing it needs it but no idea how far suspension travel is otherwise I am ok with "You can chuck it"

Thanks,

Robert
