Remove the TMIC and cut the old one off with a razor blade. Lube up the ends of the new one with some water and work at it until it's on all the way. The firewall connection is easy, but the engine-side connection is really difficult. You have to force it on a millimeter at a time, so patience is required.

Then again, given that WD-40 isn't that good for rubber, you may not.
There are actually products designed for just this use but for the average home mechanic water and a bit of dish soap will work fine. You don't need the hose/fitting to be permanently slick, just long enough to get the hose on.
