If you dont have a press available use grease.

Yeah I can use a press and yeah i will try grease, oil and anything else I can think of

And the inserts are made of polyurethane(how ever you spell that) basically really strong rubber.

Mix lithium grease (comes in a metal toothpaste looking tube) and liquid graphite (used to lubricate the tumblers in a lock) 50/50 in a small cup then coat the mounting surfaces of the insert. Use it everywhere something comes into contact with the polyurethane.
