Powersteering Pump Replacement How-To

Need a little help here with the teflon washer and o-ring. When I removed my fitting all that was on there was a destroyed white nylon washer. No o-ring what so ever.

New pump came with new white nylon washer and black rubber o-ring. I can't figure out how to get these onto the treaded fitting. I think if i force the nylon washer on I am going to destroy it. Another post mentioned a seal installer what is that? Is there a trick to doing this?

This nylon washer is smaller in diameter than the threads so I really don't see it stretching over the threads without me destroying it.

I also read that the nylon washer goes on first and then the rubber o-ring. Need a little help here the kids at the auto parts stores don't have a clue what's going on.

What am I missing? Why am I having such a hard time with this?

Thanks,
