Trouble getting bumpstops on Koni Yellows?

I have a buddy with a 5th gen, on whose behalf I'm posting this question. He's trying to install his Koni Yellows (on a 5th gen) but can't figure out how to get the bumpstop onto the shock housing. Anyone come across this problem? It didn't seem like it to me, I searched quite a bit and didn't find anything directly related to this issue. Thanks

The bumpstop will go over the metal part of the shaft with a little help. There is a metal thing there that the washer rests on and it can be a chore. Tell him to be patient and to simply work it over.

Yep, never had a problem on the many Koni installs I've done.

I jsut drill them out a bit bigger..

Well actually I just flare the leading edge so I can get it over that little ridge on the damper shaft and then "screw" it the rest of the way
