Hello,

You can easily align the bushings by placing the arm firmly in a vise on the side of the arm so that only 1 half of the arm is held and the other is hanging out.

Since you have the arms powder coated you will need to protect the arm somehow.

You can use the large pivot bolt to tweak the unsupported half the arm to align the bushings.

FYI, it is highly recommended that you use a little anti-seize on the pivot bolt and on the inside of the bushings.
