I can't believe I am having so much trouble installing the spark plug wire distributor boots on the new MSD wires I bought.

I have tried putting some die electric greese on the wire before I slip the wire into the boot but I just can't seem to get the wire to make that 90 degree turn. I tried grabbing the end with a set of long needle nose pliers but the outer cover of the wire tore. Before you ask, I havn't crimpted the metal ends yet. I just can't boot on the wire.

Does anybody have a trick to getting the distributor boots on the wire?

Thanks
Stupid
