Picked up a used 92 Toyota Pickup 2wd recently, and on the front I installed all new Timken bearings/races, new rotors, and new brakes. The caliper bolts to the torque plate with sliding pins. On the drivers side, the bushings on the upper sliding pin were completely gone, and I did notice that it was causing the pads to wear unevenly.
Could not find any bushings locally in stock, so ordered a Carlson 16005 pin boot kit.

Found a FSM on a 93 Toyota pickup that's just like my brakes, and it says to use a plastic bar to install the longest sliding bushing into the sliding pin side. Don't have a plastic bar, so what can I use to to get those long bushings installed? Going to replace all the boots/bushings, and don't want to take all day to do it.
Here is the FSM on the brake bushings/boots at the bottom of BR-31 step 4.
