It has been ~9 years since I did mine, but I recall using a little soapy water for lubrication and my fingers.

The locking strip must be pushed in. Soap and silicone are helpful.
I recommend using non-metallic tools such as the nylon and hardwood cuticle pushers used by manicurists. They are also good to use on tail/side lights where the glass cover must be worked into the rubber channel.
