Put liquid or jelly silicone on the tapered end and push like hell (but try not to get any on the electrical contacts). The connector body there should be a stiff rubber (it was originally). Good luck if it's now plastic...

Glycerine and twist/turn as you push. And yes, push hard...

Isopropyl alcohol works great as a lubricant for installing rubber plugs, grommets, etc.

+1 for glycerine
Porsche even put a bottle of this stuff in 356s. Great to keep rubber supple and as a lube. Evaporates fairly quickly.

I used dish soap and a pick to install mine. I lost some skin doing it though.
