When I removed the harness when pulling the motor I pulled one of the wires out of the small round end that the 2 wires use to push into the back up light switch, so the question is how do I put that wire back into the ball like end ? I tried using a crimper but it is out of shape and cant get pushed into the socket. im sure there is probably a special crimper to use that type of connector ?

Large blob of solder on the tip of the wire, a little shaping and push into place.
