its real easy if you have the die. just strip the end and fold the conductor under the wire so it sits on the metal. then just crimp it together. i did mine using a vice and the die to crimp and just a razor blade to strip the insulation. also used silicone spray to slide the boots on.

its actually very simple but a second set of hands or a vice is needed.

well the end will only fit in the die one way. when crimped the open end should now be evenly pushed down on the insulation. do a google search for crimping plug wires. i remember reading an article in like phr or carcraft.
eh here ya go. http://www.carcraft.com/howto/1022/index.html
