Water tube replacment

Hi all,
So while I was replacing my thermostat housing I accidentally cracked the water tube that runs between the housing and the water pump underneath the intake manifold.
I bought a replacement and I've started to try and put it back into place, but for the life of me I can't get it to pop back into the water pump. I know it's only held in by a rubber O-ring, so it's a tight fit, but I'm afraid of pushing too hard on the tube and cracking or completely breaking it.
I'm hoping one of you gurus on here will have some tips on reinstalling this tube.
As always, all help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Tyler
