Tracy,
While carb cleaner will help with the install, be sure it doesn't cause deterioration of the liner. The problem is the mildly melted hose will be ok for a while but can leak much sooner than would be caused otherwise. Always be sure your lubricant is safe with your tubing material.

Give the metal fitting and the inside of the hose a squirt of walmart or Gumout carb cleaner.  This will act as a lubricant but will evaporate quickly.  Give it a squirt then quickly push and twist like mad!!!  (I want a picture of this!!!)

Tracy, I don't really expect you to know such trivia, but it can't hurt
to ask.  The eBay  store with the RX-8 crankshaft sensor has a bunch of
other models, so for as little as $5.  Is there anything special about
this particular model, or is it just a hall effect sensor?  Some of the
other model numbers looked like they had long mounting arms that would
make installation in an RX-7 series a tad easier.
