    It should go easy like Dave said. If not, there is a plastic grommet the tube fits into on the bottom of the power head. If your motor overheated this grommet could have melted. Been there. I pulled the power head, replaced the grommet, and installed the tube with the lower unit. Just relaying some info I read here. Good Luck.
