I bought these to use with light truck wedge link snow chains. I struggled to attach them until I realized I wanted the rubber to slide over the hooks a little more easily. A quick spritz of silicone lube on the rubber and they started working like magic. If your snow chains are equipped with cam locks, you should leave them unlocked before installing them and lock them after installing the tensioners. You will find it very difficult if you do not lubricate the rubbers (with silicone spray) before installation.
