How do I put theses Accel wires together?

I just bought a some Accel 8 mm wires but can't figure out for my life how to put these things together, in the instructions they are using some crimping tool which i don't have, is there a way of getting around this? And also the boot doesn't seem to fit all the way over the connector Also the connectors dont fit the distributer cap right either but i guess i can bend them right? i don't know i'm lost can somebody explain better than the instructions do?

all the wires i ever put together were pretty eay to do, reread the instructions. all the accel wires i ever did came with 2 flat pieces of steel shaped to crimp the wires. you could use crimping plires too. to get the boots on i used the insulating greese that came with the wires. dow makes a product called high vacumn greese that works well for this too.

My only suggestion to you is to place them back in the box, close it, and return them to where you bought them. I had a friend call me to help him put a set of those bitches on and after 2 hours we had ruined them and threw them away to go back to the auto parts store and buy the set that was already cut to length. They were the same price and we had them on in 3 minutes.
