I'm happy to report that a neighbor and I got the sucker on! Additional tips:

Loosen the large-diameter rubber boot on the end of the intake manifold. No
need to remove it, but hitching it rearward even slightly helps. (BTW, is this
boot the Michelin man hose I keep hearing about? Of all the things under the
hood, it looks like the most likely candidate for the name.)

Hold the 2" plastic pipe with a pair of vise-grips--my vise-grips are ~6" long.
This helps keep it pointed straight at the hose and gives you a solid base to
push against.
