I think the rubber core failure was unrelated to rust. But I am having a hell of a time getting the new bushing to seat even halfway. It's frozen solid too.

After taking a closer look at the subframe pocket there is def a small amount of rust in there. Do I need to clean this up with a dremel to get the new bushing to seat? All of the sides except the flat side are perfectly smooth, the flat side has "rust ridges" where the rubber bushing used to sit. I assume this is holding up the new one.
