Never had any trouble getting them on when I've rebuilt axles:

You can cut them if needed, just find the top and snip the ring of felt. I've done this when I've replaced just the rubber and felt wipers with the knuckle in place.

hmmm, never had any trouble either. top first, then bottom, twist it so it lays flat. It shouldn't tear.
