Default Taylor Wires. Any tips on how to assemble?

Someone out there MUST have had a problem getting the boot over the wire??
10.4 Taylor 409.. Already went through 4 connectors trying to get the boot on/off... Seems like the shrink wrap they give you is crap..

I have used a heat gun to wrap, and tons of jell.. I can get the boot 1/2 way on, but, seems the hole for the boot is way to small to fit the wire, and the shrink wrap into.

Any advice??

I don't know what the shrink wrap you are refering to is. None of the plugs wires I have cut to length have had this.

When I've assembled plug wires, I pull the entire wire through the boot using some dialectric grease as lube. Usually use some needle nose pliers to pull it. Then I cut off the excess and crimp the connector. Pull it back though the opposite way to get the connecter in the right place.

The little die's they give you in the kit to crimps suck. I used a coax cable crimp tool.
