quote BillW:

I pre-puncture the wire with a small awl, so that the terminal goes easily straight through the core; otherwise, they have a tendency to walk sideways when you push the pointed part of the terminal through. Then, I also rotate straight, for a tight fit, as the other guys do. I spray a little WD-40, CRC 6-56, etc, in the boot so the terminal will go in easily. Don’t worry; it will dry up and leave a tight fit. Been doing it this way for about 45 years with no problems. When assembled in the boot, it is not flimsy at all.

Likewise. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
