Default pushing spark plug wire onto plug?

Morning. Ok weird question but i am disabled and have very week wrists/hands . Problem is I'm having trouble pushing the plug wire onto the plug to get that click where u know its on. Are there any tools out there to help me do this, or any diy solutions. I realized that's why my xj was idling rough....any help is greatly appreciated. This time i had help so once they were all on it ran like a champ.
edit: im a dumbass and realized i could use a plug wire puller to install them too....doh

Sincerely,
B

There are a lot of plyers type removal tools, I don't know if any of those would help install the boot onto the plug.

However, what may help is putting a light smear of dielectric grease on the rubber boot where it slides over the plug insulator. It definitely makes the boot easier to put on and take off and you ought to be doing this in any case.
