It will come out with the grommet in place. You just have to twist and turn and slowly work it out.

Just slide the tank to the passenger side while lifting the passenger side only and it should slip out.

Re: how do i take the gas tank out?
I just pulled my tank. What worked for me was to lift on the bottom corner farthest from the neck. Tilt the bottom towards the dash and pull at same time. It’s a little work but it will come out.

Use a little lube, it helped me get mine in
 It sounded funny, but I was being serious.
