I did find the top one to be well tight so give it a spray with some oil or WD-40 an it should slid on fine...

21 sterling shipping for two rad hoses sounds bit steep???

Very steep, I have a set of blue Autobahn hoses for sale in the parts section, £45 shipped, no fees and brand new.....

as said gt hoses are abit tight on to the civic rad but do go on with abit of wd40 and a worst pour some boiling water over the rad hoses to make them abit more loose. its easier to put the hoses on the rad 1st while its out of the car then put the rad in and connect the hoses to the engine.
