If you have not yet installed your ferrules, here is a $.30 tool that works great. Get a lug nut, they are all tapered on one end. Find a matching bolt and place it through the ferrule.  Screw the lug nut onto the bolt taper end first. The taper will spread the ferrul and lock it in place.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
