Tried a suggestion from mfg and put the wire in the freezer overnight to help with the installation of the ferrule on the wire. I was able to get it installed, but freezing it wasn't much help. Watched a different video pulling on the center wire and that seemed to work the best. However is was still a major PITA to install the ferrule on the wire. Pulled so hard to get it one a couple of the wires that I'll be lucky if there's no damage to the interior of the wire itself. Poor design of exterior of the wire for this application. The wire is super flexible, but the outer material is way to soft for this method of installation. Actually used the table vise so I could pull on the wire with both hands. Used some wire cutters to bevel the end to aid in feeding the wire into the ferrule. Sorta like pushing a rope.
