is it really f-ing hard to get in? maybe the crank is slightly deformed. when i put mine in it was snug enough that it wouldn't fall out but it didn't take a hammer. i used one for convenience, but if i had gotten in the right position, i could have pushed it in by hand. my point is, if it's too hard to put in, it might be getting deformed as you install it.

Thanks didn't mean to derail the post
I'm telling you this becuase about 20 days ago I had the same problem. The way to fix it is to:
1. Pull out the bushing with a slide hammer ( you will probably need one to get it out) then take some high grit sandpaper or similar substance and clean out where the bushing just was. Get a new bushing. Try to insert the bushing into the hole without more than a tap or two with the back of a handle of a screwdriver. Remember to apply recommended grease as suggested by Nissan.
2. Use a drill or dremel tool to increase the inner diameter of the existing bushing. Again grease up with recommended lube.
3. Keep doing what you already tried and failed to do 3 or more times before becuase crazy is expecting a different result from repeated action.

Ok this Z hates me. I sanded smooth and perfectly round inside the crank and its at 20mm or so (crappy micrometer) And I slowly heat the crank and freeze the bushing and i tried to push the bushing in there and it was just hanging barely in so I tried taping it. no luck at all. so I put the alignment tool in it to tap on the tool. STILL no movement! I finally gave it a few good hits and it start to go it. then promptly broke into 1000 pieces..... When I pulled what was left of the bushing out, it was badly scored all around it but the crank was just fine. I'm starting to wonder if were just getting really shitty bushings!
