New fuel line won't fit!

[feelergaugephil]

So, you bought new fuel lines for your bike and they look like they will fit but you have been pushing and pushing but they won't go on!!!
Here's how to fit them without struggling.........
Measure the lines so that they are correct (length) then place them in hot water for about a minute, they now will be soft and easy to push on.

Also remember that one of the best tools you can have is a heat gun. Perfect for this as well. Get one with different heat settings.

Put them out in the sun for an hour!

Also, get a metal rod slightly smaller than the tube diameter.

Slide rod into the tube, leaving enough room at the bottom to slip over the nipple. Squeeze the tube closed around the rod at the top, and hold it there while you push it down on the nipple. (Is it just me, or did that come out obscene?)

The rod keeps the tube straight and gives you something to push against. Once seated, rod slides right out of tube.

Rod, nipple slip squeeze....nice. Had to take it, someone was gonig to
