A compression limiting assembly (10) minimizes compressive forces of a bolt (12) being used to secure a first work piece (26) to another work piece (30). The compression limiting assembly includes a longitudinal sleeve (32) that defines a longitudinal axis (34) extending between a first piece engaging end (46) and a bore insertion end (52). The first piece engaging end includes a flange (44) preventing the bolt from moving therepast. The longitudinal sleeve also includes a retainer portion (36) defining a retainer portion inner diameter. The compression limiting assembly also includes a bolt retainer (42) housed within the retainer portion of the longitudinal sleeve. The bolt retainer is adapted to receive the bolt therethrough to prevent the bolt from falling out of the longitudinal sleeve as the compression limiting assembly is being inserted into the first and second pieces (26, 30). The bolt retainer defines a bolt retainer outer diameter larger than said retainer portion inner diameter. Engaging arms (68) extend obliquely out from said bolt retainer to engage the retainer portion to help secure the bolt retainer therein.
