I remove the air intake tube to make space to install a new alternator. Now I am unable to reconnect the tube to the pipe at the turbo end.
There's really no room to get a solid grip for a nice big push.
Anyone have an idea of how to get it reconnected?
Thanks

Use a hair dryer on it get it hot add some grease to the seal , it will slip right on

Thanks nulu! That worked but with some additional steps.
On first try the heat and grease didn't work so I removed the air filter housing cover to give that end of the tube more space. Then with a Dremel I beveled the leading edge of the ridge inside the tube, cleaned it, heated it, lubed it, and was able to wiggle it into place.
Thanks again.
