Hi, I’ve just ordered a silicone tip and was wondering if there is a fitting guide to help me install it. It looks like a straight forward swap but reading past threads some find it simple, and some have a bit of struggle including shredding hands, etc. Since I’ve not done this before, I thought it would be useful to read up about it. Also, which hose clamps do I need to buy to renew the single-use ones?

Defected!
You could do with a flexible Clip Driver, you'll really struggle without one and then it's just a straight swap, easy (famous last words lol). Cant remember what size clips you need off hand, try posting in the Forge section or send them a PM.
