maybe try a piece of plastic from a gallon milk jug, cut it square/rectangle and roll it up into a cylinder/cone put your rubber piece on it and slide it over the end of your grip then slide it off....worth a try i guess...

What's needed is some sort of PVC pipe or cone device which is as tough as a piece of PVC pipe but it needs to be one smooth piece which starts at 1/2 inch and gradually makes it's way up to 1 1/4 inches.

Then yes you could use that to lube and slide these suckers on. Without that it's 2 pair pliers some soap, boiling water, cursing naturally and some luck.

Holy crap that's hysterical cause I think that would have worked!
What's worse is I have that funnel about three feet away from me. Omg. You and the hot water guys win!
