If you need to use that sort of connector, here's hoping there's something better out there.
A good method, if you can't get in there to solder, is to carefully remove 3/8"-1/2" of the insulation of the existing wire, then insert something between the wire strands (assuming not solid core) so about half are on each side. Once you've created an opening, pass the stripped end of the new wire through the opening and twist everything together. You'll figure it out from there.

A military splice Norm??
I'd go with shrink tube butt connectors, get one that can handle two wires into the one end, slide a longer piece of shrink tube over the single wire, make the splice and heat, let cool, slide the bigger piece of shrink tube over the splice and shrink it on. I'm a fan of a double seal on things that might get wet.
