Default Question about stubborn coolant pipe coupling

So I finally got around to finishing up changing the coolant pipes. I am putting everything back together.
how do you guys slip the rubber coupling I’ve the two metal ones? I’ve tried searching on YouTube and PDFs and none of them show how to do it. The rubber is very tight, and whether I use some coolant or degreaser it won’t budge. I got it on once but I wound up ripping it (with a screwdriver) so I got a new one.

thanks all

I used a light smear of engine oil on the inside of the hose, still hard work but went on ok

did you use a screwdriver or just like your brute force to get the coupling into the other pipe?

Pretty sure there was a screwdriver or 2 involved... Maybe a dental pick to get it started

I've used a tool similar to this to get hoses off and 'start' new ones.

In case you're still working on this, here is a link to my pictures and comments.

I remember that short hose but didn't seem to have any advice in my post. I used silicone grease for all of the o-rings and mating surfaces.
I did have other difficulties after that short hose, thus my reply here.
Good luck.
