It’s glue. Some reports on the Ranger page say it’s not needed as it fits so tight, and others report it’s needed. The very top of the bushing has a nice area to apply the glue after it is mostly in.
My front pedestal bushing appears to be an earlier version. Though broken it still remains 2/3 to 3/4 still there as you can see in the photo. I super glued a 2” metal C clip to the top of what remains to give it strength so it might last a lifetime. We shall see.

I know this is an older post.
My front insert is broken now.
Vexus has sent me the repair kit. I have a few ideas on how to get the insert out but would like to hear how others have gotten the old broken insert out.

Easy fix guys, I did one on my Ranger a couple of years ago when I had a Ranger. It literally took me 15 minutes. YouTube it. Like I said, if it truly is an insert like Ranger, it is an easy fix.

You can use a flat screw driver or smaller chisel to break the insert in half. Once it's split you can work the screw driver around the bushing and get it out. I changed posts because I'm pretty sure jerking the old one out is what cracked it. I purchased a post with the button on the side to retract the catch at the bottom. The insert vexus sent me was not as tight as the factory installed one.

I use a sawzall to section it and it comes right out.
