It worked, but this would be a whole lot easier, thats for sure.
LOL .... I did what you did the first time with the rubber lines.... yeah it took me 2 hours also.
2 second time..... I could not get the new Silicon line to bend as easily as the rubber lines. and it would just miss it's mark. and I was trying from the front also. but by the time you put pressure on the line, ....it slipped....wtf.

So, I decided to learn how not to let it slip off.... then wola.

mweisdorfer I found something when I removed my rubber lines.....you should check this....the line was not in all the way....so....feel the actuator's metal connector and see if your new line is in all the way.
feel the metal connector's bottom...and how far up is the new line?
also if you used Silicone lines, then the wall thickness is bigger.....so you see a point where you can not push any further.

but other than rattle noise reduction, i had huge lag reduction also..... big difference.
I'll check it next time I'm in there. I used the 3.5mm platinum cured silicone lines from Verocious Motorsports. Very nice set of lines.
