Supplied hose on Saikou Michi catch cans
Did anyone have as hard a time putting on the supplied large hose as I did? When I started this endeavor, I thought this whole thing would be easy. It was till I got to that now hated hose. It was too small, so I put some oil on it to make it slip on. That didn't work. I got some needle nose pliers and stuck up in it and twisted it around for awhile. That didn't work. Have you ever put a hose in the microwave? It makes some weird loud noises (got hot though). That didn't work. Got the balled end of a ratchet, put oil on it and pushed it up into it. Then got a lighter and got the rubber real hot and kept pushing the ratchet. It finally looked like I had pushed it far enough, pulled it out and quickly put it on the flange. It at least made it up on it a little. By now (really way before now) there was an occasional cuss word thrown in. I have a torch over at the shop and was tempted to go get it, but I thought it would probably melt the hose. I was able to get a clamp on it, but the hose is only about half way on.

I didn't have much problems pushing the hoses on. Which connection is problematic? Got any pictures?

If you mean the ones from the throttle body, the existing hoses worked fine.

I should have done that to begin with. I will check this afternoon and make sure it is log enough.
