Cold air intake tube--stubborn fit!

OK, good news and something for others to consider if they're having trouble getting the stubborn black plastic cold air intake tube back onto the metal lip of the throttle body. After contemplating the blow torch concept mentioned by another poster, I opted for alternative heat in the form of a hair dryer. Seemed safer than applying an open flame and--wahoo!--the results were amazing. With a couple of minutes of heat applied around the lip of the plastic, the sucker slipped right back into place. This is actually easy to do if you just know this little trick--apply heat (and you can probably do so more safely with a hair dryer)!
