Why not call them for technical assistance?

Well unless tech assistance can send someone dont waste your time.

Look it takes a little muscle to pop that back on, get a screwdriver and mold it around the cai and it will go.

Did you get the 88mm MAF or the 90mm MAF? If you got the 90mm MAF that is why the tube is difficult to get on. Use a little WD40 for a lubricant between the intake tube and the MAF and a couple of screw drivers. It will work itself on. You might teach the children in the neighborhood a couple of new words while you are doing it, but it will go. Also I might suggest making sure your hose clamp will work before you get all involved.
