Background on the question......replaced the muffler and mixing elbow 

today.....first time for me doing this job, second time for my mentor 

who assisted....he was the more experienced at these tasks, thank 

god....got to the last part of the job and ran into the old saying, 

there are no easy jobs..... couldn't get the 2" hose to the muffler on 

the mixing elbow end ....the mixing elbow has a small 'lip' that is the 

challenge.....went on easy over the lip on the new Vernalift 

muffler....worked on it until I called quit.....put on liquid dish 

detergent .... heat gun .....put the hose in hot water....close but 

close doesn't count....can't get enough leverage to push it up over the 

lip of the mixing elbow....really frustrating.

 

Before someone says do you have the correct hose size....yes...2" hard 

wall marine hose came off..... the same is going on.....I had to cut the 

old one off on the mixing elbow side.

 

A smart guy, which I wasn't today, would have put the mixing elbow side 

hose on in the vice grip on the work bench and not when you are on your 

side in the engine compartment with little to no leverage. Mixing elbow 

is not coming off going back to the workbench to get his hose on even if 

I have to go to a slightly bigger hose.

 

I need some really innovative ideas to stretch the 2" hose to get it 

over the end of the mixing elbow.     Don't tell me to use soap, heat, 

hot water.....tried all of those today.....I need a really innovative 

solution...

 

There is no problem that can't be overcome......help me please!
