Lube the rubber and the hole with water and dish detergent.  Push it in with 
a C-clamp using appropriate sockets as spacers above the Pittman arm.  You 
need to push it WAY past center in order for it to end up centered after you 
remove the C-clamp.

Glad you are replacing it.  They are always shot after this much time.
