RE: Passenger Boards?
You're problem is that it's too STIFF??
Markcuda has it right, WD-40 the snot out of them, I used liquid dish soap. It was a pain, but they finally went.

RE: Passenger Boards?
Thunder Storms forecasted for today. Went to the garage and worked on the inserts. I tried the heat to soften them and the WD-40 for lube. They were just not going to go in. I even put one in the press and gave it a little squeeze. No Luck. I ended up just getting out the drill index and opening the two holes a 64 at a time until they went in without too much trouble. Not the way I like to work but they're in.

RE: Passenger Boards?
While exposing this forum to a number of dubious remarks here is my $.02 even though the drill solution worked this time: For those going thru this in the future I would suggest the WD-40 be passed over in favor of petroleum jelly. Yes folks, good ol' Vaseline. Sticks to the rubber better and does not run like the WD-40. Got the trick from a local Harley wrench.

On my truck, I've also discovered that synthetic oil works well for those rubber pop in do-hickies..seems slipperyerer
I'm a wd-40 convert...its seems to be more solvent and light oil
