Man, I just tried doing this yesterday with the tank in. Lubed up or not, warm, cold, whatever... it is a pain in the neck to do with the tank installed. I got the grommet from Wes at Classicheartbeat and it is solid heavy duty rubber. Not the squishy pliable stuff from the parts store. If you can, remove the seat and tank. Put the grommet in, then slide the tank through it. I used windex to lube it up. After 30 minutes of trying to poke the new one in place with a screwdriver i just pulled the tank.
