Installing Bad Horsie shock covers can be a pain.
One solution is to take a plastic canister that 35mm film comes in and cut off the closed end. Make sure you have no burrs on your cut end and slip the shock cover over the canister bunching it up as required. You then put the canister over the shock spring and pull one end of the cover the over one end of the shock. Hold it there with one hand and gently pull the canister the other direction up the shock spring releasing the shock cover as you go.
That’s it. A quick and simple way to install a Bad Horsie shock cover that only takes seconds.

I just drag them over the top and holds them open with four fingers, 2 back and 2 right in front of me, than I just pull them over. Easy.
tried this and this is much better than my method.. much more tension after using this.
