I used some liquid dish soap to lube the rubber o-ring. Also be careful with the o-ring they can get pinched and tear easily .

I would suggest using a silicon lube or a light coat of oil on the o-ring. Use a mallet to get them on, they are just plastic so be careful. Hope this helps!

I used a little bit of oil. Went right on with a light tap on a rubber mallet, and use a rag or something to cover it when you hit it.
