Installing a coolant return hose on a Northern Lights Generator

[PNM]

The 1" ID hose is 1/4" thick with one end under the wet manifold, where it is difficult to install.

Can I heat the rubber hose with an air dryer, or soak it in "warm" water to make it easier to install?

Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your expertise.

Yes you can always do that. No harm done

Also a little bit of lubricant on the inside of the hose

Thanks!

Just discovered the air filter foam on my M753 is rotten

VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!

Has anyone fabricated an alternative insert? Suggestions are appreciated.
