Mine just slid right on. NOT!!! Tried the grease that came with my K&N air filter...no go. I don't have any safety wire. So I'll be hanging out with my heat shrink gun for a while. I laid the heat gun at the top edge and let it run. Then I pried against the tube with a short rubber handled bar leveraging the engine compartment rim. I covered the pry points with a shop rag to preserve the paint. Wish I'd know about this issue. I wouldn't have removed it to clean the throttle body which was not at all dirty at 48K miles. But who knew?
