I did this years ago and you also had to move over the metal tube for the Genuine Saab hose, so the problem is not unique to URO. As Ken says, lubricate the tube and you just kind of push and twist it in from the bottom. I used silicone grease rather than a spray, but it worked the same.
Apparently Saab was having problems with the water vapor from the crankcase freezing up in the vent hose and blocking the PCV function. (Just imagine how cold it would have to be for that to happen.) The metal tube carries hot water along the air pathway and keeps ice from forming.
