Default Inserting a fuel line

This is not for my honda, it's for a truck. I am changing the fuel lines to a truck. I removed the old rubber fuel line from the tank and another the area where it goes to a metal fuel line. I would like to know if there is a special tool that stretches the fuel line hoses to make them install. The metal fuel line has a flared head and the akward angle makes it impossible to push by hand. Is there a lube?

any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

come on. I know that someone knows of a tool or a technique to install a rubber fuel hose over a flared tip metal line. I just needed to change the rubber lines but I can't install it.

Try any lubricant like WD40 and spray the rubber hose and the metal pipe. That makes it a ton easier than trying to do it dry.

Thanks for the help. Turns out that I ended up fitting a 1/4 inch tube on a 5/8 inch pipe. the real size was an easy fit.
