The overflow line running from the coolant reservoir to the engine broke. I'm having problems connecting the line with the clips to the coolant overflow. It seems like I'm going to break the clips

Part having trouble connecting to.

New part

 

You have to grab it with a needle nose plier and gently push it in. You hold the tool perpendicular to the connector with just enough pressure to keep it in place and push it in towards the reservoir. Have patience and be gentle. The side clips will catch with steady pressure inwards and some slight wiggling.

 

Step 1. remove the old broken parts from the reservoir

Step 2. push on the new connector it will spread apart and latch as you seat it (thumb and index finger on the tube and press against the crossmember to seat it)

Removing it can be a challenge but connecting is easy

Good luck
