Is there a trick to replacing one like some type of lubricant that won't affect the rubber hose? I tried reversing the "old" hose and try the "unbroken end but it is like trying to get a noodle up a wild cat's rear. Ugh! Logic says to have someone push from engine compartment while someone guide from under the dash. Any help is appreciated.

Complete agreement with Brad's post (as usual) - worked well on multiple trucks for me. Use non-scented cheapest personal lubricant (Walmart, CVS, non-name brand).
Also I attach a detachable extension hose that goes down to below the block on the driver's side. That way, water exits below the block. You can easily remove the extension hose at a show. A tapered nylon/plastic hose connector is available at any hardware store.

Thanks
