Help mounting hose onto DKs (archive)

Hello folks,
Just had a peek under the hood after I did the VCVs last weekend. Seems to pick up better, and have a more stable idle fuel consumption (OBC readouts). Anyways, I noticed today when I looked under the hood, there was this sucktion sound/hiss. Quickly traced it to a loose vacuumhose from the fuel-injector rail and DK on the left side. I had some trouble getting these hoses back in after cleaning (had to cut them off to get them out in the first place). Any good advice on how to get them properly in again? The hoses seem like the tighest fit I´ve ever experienced. Makes me consider getting new ones that are a little wider and perhaps put on some clamps.

I did try silicon to make them slide on easier like I´ve been used to with getting electrical wires through tight rubber-gaskets etc.
