Intercooler

I just replaced the PCV valve on my '02 WRX. Went rather easy, now I am struggling to put the intercooler back on. I can't get the bottom hose to go on smoothly. Anyone else have these difficulties or any tips? Figured I would take a break before I got to fired up.

Thanks

Solution

The solution was to heat the hose with a hair dryer, she slid right on after that.

Since your on the topic, where is the PCV valve located on an '02 WRX, and at what point are you supposed to change it?

I used a little bit of oil to rub down the inside of the hose
