Fuel hose problems - SV650.org

I've brought some stainless steel braided 6mm PTFE fuel hose to replace some worn and split hose, the problem is there's no "give" in the hose to get it over the nobs (if that's the correct term) of the fuel pump etc.........could i warm it up to get it over?

Any advice much appreciated else I've just wasted £15

There's always time for lubricant!

Gently does it, make sure you're not squashing the end of the hose and creep it on there a little at a time.
