I just had to pull a new fuel pump because the factory had the polarity switched and the pump was running backwards. Several other complaints for the same thing on Summit.
And yes I would pay more not to have to drain pull a brand new tank.
Gees already.

I share your frustration.

I did take a die grinder with a stone to the ball joint hole and reamed it out a little bit then used a flapper wheel to smooth the final finish . Ball joints went in and are pretty tight.
