Ok...so after breaking the tip off one or two with blunt objects I resulted in putting two in a cup of boiling water to soften them up for few minutes and then put Vaseline on the end and it popped right in! Trick was the boiling water to soften.

Pad is in and now for the heater box...

I know they used soap at the factory, but virtually all soap has some corrosive properties. Vaseline or silicone are much better choices. And you have to watch silicone. Some of the cheaper brands will eat rubber. Test it by spraying it on a styrofoam cup. You will immediately know if it is corrosive to rubber and plastic.
