Aa splicing needle and plenty of saliva works well for these ! Take it slowly and it works fine

Lubrication always works in the first instance
Don’t worry about them creasing up when putting them on when in position rub them back and forwards and then they Straighten themselves out.
Reading that back sounds weird but it does work.

If you want to use a bead on the tubing look at the gardener tackle saftey bead it’s a tapered bore beads it grip the tubing but will come of in case of breakage

I used shrink tube instead. Get a close fit and just brush over it with a lighter.
Sits perfect and still grips tight

I struggle to get the little silicone sleeves (the ones the no trace beads sit on) on to the tubing. Anyone found an easy way of doing this?

Awful design, I got one done and binned the other after trying and swearing for a while.

Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs. But have you tried cutting the tubing at an Angle. Tends to find its way in easier..

Try and find a solar or Nash rig tool

Edit
Can’t find any anywhere so search for stainless steel capillary tube
