Leverage and better access......

Even with the OEM one-piece return tubes, viton o-rings abundantly greased, installing them requires sufficient leverage (force) to get them seated properly. The Dow type grease is not critical for installing these return tubes. It is the leverage and better access to apply pressure (force) during installation that makes it easier. Otherwise, it would be really frustrating.
