<VV> Heater hose success

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Clark lives in Michigan where the heater is needed  year  round....
I'm shocked that he could get his arm inside the heater hose and then up to 
 the heater box.
It's a good thing he wasn't sitting on a chair! ;)

Today I finally got the hose  attached.  After many suggestions from VV
members I did the  following:
1.  Took a Crescent wrench, set the opening about .04, and  went
around the heater tube and bent the tube inward to make a lead  angle.
2.  Got a bottle of old car wax and put some on my finger tips  and
lubricated the metal tube.
3.  Slid the heater hose up my arm  and then used my fingers to guide
the hose onto the metal tube.
4.   Extracted my arm and compressed the hose to coil bind and shoved
it on the  tube.
5.  I was able to reach thru the RH side with a screwdriver  and
tighten the clamp.
The next problem was trying to get the hose thru  the metal loop that
keeps it away from the starter.  This wasn't easy  as the loop is too
small and the hose doesn't slide thru it very  well.  I screwed with that
for far too long and finally gave up after  about 8" and added my
extension piece to the hose and connected it to the  engine.
So I guess it is done, we'll see if it works later.  Thanks  for all the
help.
