I did exactly that, split it and removed it. I guess the tool is only for removal. I watched a YouTube video, they suggested dielectric grease to lube it up so it will slide on. I'll try again another day.

The one for the gm trucks has a flat spot on them to help get them around the firewall, never had any luck with those on the heater hoses fittings....
