I just installed mine this past week, Just add a little bit of grease to the coupler end and twist and turn till it goes on. The maf side is even more of a biatch to get on.

Good Luck !!

I heated mine up a little bit (used a lamp), then twisted it on. It takes a little convincing, but it will fit.

Grease! As in the Elbow variety... put your purse down and use two hands like a man!

Here is your answer, let the coupler soak in hot water for a few mins and then put it straight on.
