I cannot get this tubing over my TB for the love of me. It'* tight as hell and keeps slipping when I get more than 2/3rds of it on.
I tried pushing it on with a screw driver but all that did was make holes. Anyone and everyone who has experience with this stuff speak up please. I had the cut out for the TB somewhat flat but the rubber kept bunching up around the TB making it near impossible to get on, so I get it down to the metal wire and went stright up to the first cut when I got all the way around. Little better, but still hard as hell.
I'll try again tomarrow, if it fails again I'm using my coupler.

Dielectric grease would be good.
