Ok, I didn't have time on my lunch break to take a video but I did take a few pics.

For anyone who is reading this that has the same problem or related and have questions, PM me. Here are some tips:

The instructions say to cut the hose longer than what you need. By longer, they mean 0.25" longer, not 3 or 4 inches.

The instructions say to soak both ends of the hose in hot water for 10 minutes. I would suggest soaking the ends in the HOT HOT HOT water for about 15 minutes (re-heating if necessary) and then push the smallest piece on first. Make sure it goes ALL the way to the center ring.If your other hose end is still in the car, use the hot water for as long as awkwardly holding it in place you can stand. Then QUICKLY push the coupler on. Push HARD. If it didn't go all the way on, do not fret. Use a heat gun on a low setting for a couple of minutes all around the hose and then push it again. It should be easier.

WARNING: This is fuel. Be safe, wear goggles, gloves. Have a fire extinguisher handy. The pressure should be low if you have a broken fuel line however, take the pressure off anyways.

Here are some pics of my finished product. I have a big thick piece of heat shrink over top of what you see here just in case, then the loom, then a bigger loom.
