There's a little rubber hose that goes from the fan motor back to the
heater box of my car.  The AMCs only used this hose on heater systems with
A/C. I have a couple of them but they are a little hard.  I broke one trying
to put it on and I don't want to break another one.

Anyone know of a way to make old rubber more plyable?

I was thinking of put one in some water and heating in the microwave.
Then once it's hot, I thought I'd spray it with either WD-40 or Silicone
spray to try and soften them up.

Any better ideas?

TIA

John
