Heat a pan of water to near boiling and let the tube soak a bit. That should provide enough give to force it over the fitting.

That works well with 1/8 wall tubing, but 1/16 wall doesn't have the stiffness to be pushed over a 1/8 larger barb when heated. If someone knows how to get 3/8ID1/2OD tubing over a 1/2OD barb, I'd really like to know.
