I was almost complete building my pc when one of the hoses to the barbs of my heat sink fell off while i was trying to install it!
I know it was a little tight trying to get it in but then disaster struck!

Try using a pair of pliers to hold the nut in place.

got it cheers!
I got my mate to hold one end with pliers while i twisted it from the other side with a pair of pliers!
I can tell you my heart skipped a few beats in case i damaged the board but got there in the end!
but i couldn't believe how easy the tube from the barb(Corsair H100i GTX) fell off.
I can tell you i won't buy another 240 radiator for my Obsidian 250D case as i really struggled to get it in but that wasn't how the tube fell out of the barb on the radiator as it just poped out with ease and some of the water from it splashed onto the motherboard!
