I like to use a little soapy water with that sort of thing sometimes.  Did you just push until they went in?  I know how you feel...seems like they are gonna tear...but they end up popping right in!

i got a small screw driver and just fed the o-ring in after spraying it with wd40, moving around it pushing lightly and it went right in with no troubles. but my other post is definitely the one that needs answering now...
