Just requires a little technique. Place the u shaped spacer in the groove, lube up the top of teh strut body well with wheel bearing grease, carefully slide teh bag onto the rod.

I then put the strut on the ground and compress the bag and the strut, kinda putting some body weight on it and wiggling the bag a bit to get the o ring on the bottom started. It can sometimes take a bit of force, but it will pop on and the u clip will keep it from going too far. Then line up the bolt holes and screw in the bolts.

If the replacement kit has a snap ring that is chrome, you don't use it on the Slam struts.

Let us know how it goes.
