Have you tried lube? Try twisting the tube while pushing with somthing that is close in size to the OD of the tube.

I put a deep well socket that was a approx. the same diameter against it and gently tapped it with a rubber mallet while twisting the tube. Watch closely to make sure you are not pinching the o-ring. Hope this works for you.

It's just a fix it ticket up to 6 months, then its up to the officer, but he could impound it after 6 months out.
