I'm trying to pull the rubber "grommet" under the tank that holds the two hardlines where they go through the firewall. It doesn't want to budge but I haven't really unloaded on it yet for fear of either ripping it or not getting it back in. Is there a trick and is it difficult to get it back in?

Pull the lines out of the grommet first. That will make it a TON easier to move. You can also use some dish soap (liquid) as lubricant. Work it in with a q-tip.
If you are going to stainless lines, I found it was MUCH easier to open up the hole were the bigger tube is going to go with a drill press, otherwise it is a total bitch to get the tube back in place, especially if it is pre-flared. Is your grommet the big rubber block, or the smaller individual grommets? Mine was the big rubber block, and it was pretty sturdy. I don't know about the smaller ones. Zach |
