Shoutout to the old timer who showed me the zip tie trick for stubborn O-rings

I was fighting a leaking fuel line coupling on a King Air for an hour, and a retired guy visiting the hangar told me to slide a small zip tie under the O-ring to stretch it just enough. It seated perfectly on the first try after that. Anyone have other little tricks for tricky seals?

That's the kind of tip you pay for.

That tip is just paying for basic service.
