I need help on getting this install done finally. First off, 034 is an amazing replacement for the OEM hockeypuck for the dogbone mount. It will DEFINITELY stiffen everything up and create very minimal movement. Let me go over a few problems however.
1. When removing OEM hockeypuck, it is impossible to remove without destroying it entirely.
2. Maybe 034 did this on purpose, or it wasn't machined correctly but the hockeypuck was about 0.2 inches bigger in diameter than the insert on the subframe. The insert hole is around 3.521 inches in diameter and the hockeypuck I received was 3.719 inches in diameter, obviously frustrated. So after breaking out the sander, I was able to get it down to 3.53 inches exactly on the top and bottom hockeypuck (so it will stay stiff). Which ultimately lead to the next problem.
4. The top and bottom hockeypucks when inserting went in slightly crooked and now the dog bone won't insert all the way. (See pictures).
Suggestions? I would really like to avoid dropping the subframe for this endeavor, however I would like suggestions for fixing this with and without dropping the subframe.
PLEASE HELP!

UPDATE:
So after straightening out the hockeypuck inserts, the pendulum mount wouldn't fully align inside the inserts to bolt if it was bolted to the transmission. Reached out to 034 Motorosports and they suggested a rather simple fix (still don't understand how it came to this though). Attached the Pendulum Mount inside the hockeypucks and torque down the bolt and then get an alignment done to move the subframe forward so it will align with the transmission and allow for the pendulum mount to bolt to all three locations.
