removing capilliary cover

This is nigh impossible with my fridge (different model though looks very similar); after about 30 min hard effort I have rolled it back about 5 cm and partially destroyed it. Even if I get it off I'm doubtful it will be reuseable. Is it necessary and why does the new thermostat not come with it ready fitted? It must only cost one or two pennies being a small bit of plastic

    The capillary 'sheath' is usually a heat shrink type insulation that can be almost impossible to remove. Either order an original thermostat with the covering like this or find another suitable covering.
