There is a factory tool, for the tool junkies out there, 06-3971. Or, if you have access to a lathe turn up a tube with a tapered bore that locates over the end of the ISO mount. Lube up the bore and as you push the rubbers through they get squished down and into the mount.
 
My request to International Products for a free sample of P-80 was ignored. Fortunately, Amazon carries a 10 ml tube for $5. After applying the P-80 the job was very doable and atypical for my usual Norton upgrade in that I didn't curse, throw a tool or bleed.

I use silicone grease both in the bore and on the rubbers. Tilt the spindle a bit to one side to get it started, then push like hell. They will go in.

Make sure the bore of the mount is clean and smooth to start with - kinda goes without saying, but just in case....
Tks
 
As per Mr. Wilson's advice above.. I used a large screwdriver and suitably sized sockets. I was really impressed with the P-80 and thank Jim Comstock (as ever) for the tip.

Ring Compressor or hose clips round a tin rolled sheet / tube . Maybe , Talcumn powder maybe or french chalk . But the dematerialiseing lube'd be best, youd think .

Anyone who aint , should shim to get equal gap each side initial fitting , after the rears set up . Machine resting stood upright , or theres binding & V I B E S .
