Mk3 mondeo st tdci new owner needs helps

[Brads_st]

Hi guys, I recently bought a 2007 mondeo st tdci and recently had a little front end bumper nothing major. I had everything checked over and all was fine but they mentioned by radiator been ‘worn’ so I replaced this my self with a new one. 

And now I have a leak from the bottom radiator hose where it’s joins the radiator to me & a few friends the hose isn’t on right and not sealing right, this means I haven’t pushed it on enough and I struggle to do so 

am I been stupid or is there a special tool to push these hoses on ? 

 

Any help will will be appreciated I’m very new to fords and are stumped by this ! 

This is my mondoon \|

No tool, just pressure a little lubricant helps , washing up liquid on the metal bit.

Cheers for the reply I have tried washing up liquid but still not in right and there not much room to grab it firm. 

Getting a new bumper this weekend so should have some more room to have a try again
