    i wonder

    if putting it on and blowing drying would shrink the hose enough to hold on. Its probably just stretched out

    Thanks for the suggestions guys and thanks for looking out for my nipple. I may take dub's advice and just replace the whole mess of tubing because it does look discolored and is probably brittle in some places.
    I guess after nine years of heat and weather your tube will get worn out and will need replacing. I'll make darn sure not to crush my nipple during the install. (this is really just going down hill FAST )

    Whew. I was hoping that you weren't recommending putting a hair dryer down there.

    I would think heat might help shrink it, like shrinky dink!
