If I remember right it is 2 and 5 and you will not need a croning tool as in fibonacci's link you should be able to push the wires into place with a stanley knife blade and there is no need to strip the wires they just push into the two like prongs on each connection

if you're not using the tool you do need to strip the wires
the correct tool makes sure the connection is good ... a stanley won't = and bear in mind when you ruin it - b&q sell replacements (they also sell a disposable inserter)

blue white - 2
white blue - 5
orange white - 3
