i need some help....

So i decided to take off my fuel tank the other day to check something out. I removed the fuel hose (and the smaller one). But buggered if I can get them back on!!!!!!!!!!! i need smaller hands or something....

I can get the stupid end of the hose back on the fitting but buggered if I can push it hard enough to get it back on far enough (and then I have to get the little hose clamp over it too)

I'm feeling the anger well up inside so i'm having a time out :)

Can anyone give me some sage advice on an easier way to do this? Maybe a current / ex vtr250 owner with more mechanical nouse than me (which woudl be just about anyone)

Thanks

Frustrated VTR250 owner.

i guess the answer to my question is try harder. I went back after my "timeout" and i've managed to put the tubes back on. Phew, i'll be able to sleep now!

Next time I'll just take it to the mechanic :)
