Trying to get the reducer on the s2000 filter.
Its literally the same size and wont go on.
Get one side on and it pops off when the other is forced on.
How the hell do I do this?
Thanks

Normally a bit of washing up liquid helps with tight rubber or silicone parts.
I'm not sure its a good idea here though, just in case you get Fairy Liquid on your MAF.

If you heat it then it will stretch

Its not near the car yet.. Just gonna put the reducer on thefilter then fit the other end.
No chance doing when on car.
So try heating it up, stretch it while applying lube and or washing up liquid.
Seems crazy enough to work.

Try softening it up by leaving it in a bowl of boiling water.
