Wait for a special occasion, use lots of water based lube, light some candles and ask the beam nicely before you start pushing.

Maybe can the part about the special occasion and candles, but using some water based lube and pushing did it for me last time I installed one :thumb

I must have got a pair of loose ones....either that or or my right arm was way too strong at that point in time.
Seriously though, I must have got lucky as I didn't have too much drama (just a little swearing and cursing).
hopefully you can devise some sort of jack/clamp to force it on.

I had no dramas either, just put some lube and some elbow grease, maybe go to the gym and pump some iron for a couple of weeks before hand and then do
it. Are you sure you got the correct ones?
