yeah it is stretched. i think samco do a replacement but the stock one is fine as long as it hasnt cracked.

Yep, it's a tighter fit.  My stock one was a bit old & brittle, & kept splitting when I tried to force it on.  I gave Forge a ring, & they very kindly sent me a length of slicon to use instead. :smiley:

Had the same problem with mine...
2 hoses (bottom and side) came out eventually. Clips holding them in place were a bugger to get off.
The top hose came off easily but would go back in as it had become brittle...If you can't or don't want to wait for a replacement hose, just goto a decent cat spares shop like german and swedish where you can pick up some new hose and clips..
Add a bit a soapy water and it should just slide in...Don't overdo the water though..
