Align the marks, and slide the oil hose onto the oil pipe until it is fully seated as shown.
NOTE:
- If reusing the hose, install the new hose clamp exactly on the mark left by the previous hose camp. Then apply force to the hose clamp in the direction of the arrow in order to fit the clamp in place.
Install the new hose clamp onto the hose.
Verify that the hose clamp does not interfere with any other components.
