Well its not going in because the leather folds up and stops it. Do i have to get a new one?

Do you have anything you can slide over the plunger thats roughly the same diameter as the housing and use it like seal driver, ya know and re-install the plunger.

put one side of it in the hole and easly rotate it with some light grease on it and it will slip right in (rotate it not twist it)
