Periodically we read about people having problems sliding the o-rings into position on their injectors, nicking the rubber and causing subsequent leaks. Getting them past the threaded portion of the injector seems to present a challenge. I've recently remembered a method Calvin taught me a number of years ago.
I use the cap from a government issued felt tip marker. Yes, government issued equipment does have it's uses. It slips on the injector to cover the threads. Grease it and the o-ring and that o-ring slides right on. You might even sand it down a bit to take the edge off the grooves on the cap. I suggest that you install the closest o-ring first, and let the second o-ring slid right over the first.
And since we all love and understand pictures:
