I've had a really shit night /o/

My '01 Neon (yes I know its a shit mobile) had its transmission line that runs to the radiator get a hole in it.

What I need to know is how to properly seat the transmission fluid lines running to and from the radiator on the nozzles that come out of the radiator.

The radiator essentially has 1/2 inch wide and 2 inch long nozzles coming out that the transmission fluid runs in and out of, the hoses that go on these are extremely tight and very difficult to get on, I can only get them about a half inch then clamp them on due to how tight they are the the fact the nozzles are raised around the edge presumably to the clamps don't slip off.

Is there some trick to this, do I need to bring it to a mechanic?

Please help, I'm really miserable right now and covered in transmission fluid

Did you try lubricating the ends of the hoses before slipping them over the nozzle? Use something that will gum up later like WD40

If it really won't fit, maybe you just need slightly bigger hose?

Get new hoses. It sounds like a fitment issue, are they aftermarket hoses? Buy OEM ones. I've spent 3 hours trying to fit a Moog rack boot on my Honda Civic only to suck it up and buy one from the dealer for $25 and have it slip on in less than 10 minutes.

The factory transmission lines are rubber and not steel? That's weird, but okay.

On your new radiator, measure the barbs, make sure they actually are the same size as the old ones. Even 1/8 of an inch makes a LOT of difference.

put one end of the hose in a pot of really hot water on the stove, that should allow it to have more give and make it easier to get back on
