I am not familiar with greeves shocks... but general engineering good pratice would suggest, ( assuming every thing is the right size) :-

Make sure there is a good lead (chamfer) on the hole and maybe even consider grinding a small chamfer onn the leading edge of the bush.

Lubricate well with soapy water ( the soap will wash away over time - oil can attack rubber especially if it is the wrong grade (epdm)) and squeeze together in your vice. The rubber may spring back a little when you undo the vice so you may need to use a couple of appropriately sized sockets to position the bush correctly.
