Replace Bushings in Breaker Box
I recently had a home inspection on a house I am selling. The inspector indicated that the bushings around the wires entering the breaker box must be replaced/added. The image is attached.
Is there a way to do this without pulling out all of the wiring?
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there is any such animal. I can picture how it could be made. But AFAIK no item like it meets NEC codes. I did find several that can be used on conduit.
Electricians, prove me wrong.

It may not, but the black button does have a slot.

There are few issue you will still have even with non metallic push-in connectors.
They are designed to be installed from outside of the box not inside. They are designed to keeps the cable from being pulled out, but allows pulling in.
You will have to cut drywall above the panel to install connectors properly.
Also, with most of those connectors (if not all) only allows 1 cable per connector. You have 2 cables coming through in some holes.

You could use these instead.
