Soften the end of the hose in hot water, you will find it will go in easier, let it cool down before you put the clamp on.

Thanks, what about if coolant is already back in the system? I tried warming the engine up and have the coolant soften the hose from inside as that seems to be the place where it's stuck, not much success there either. Would a hairdryer work?
