Fuel line grommet questions......

[In The Ten Ring]

This is probably a silly question but I thought I might go on and ask. What is the best way to remove the OEM floor grommets (fuel line passes through cab floor) and replace with new ones?

I bought a set of new grommets from Wes at Classic Heartbeat last December.

Use a big torch!!
Burn em out!!
NO!! NO!! Just kidding!!
Pry em out with a screwdriver, lube the new ones with a little wd-40 and pop em in.

This is what happened the last time I used a torch on my truck. LOL

Oh man that sucks! Made a neat picture though. What were you torching?

I just used a chisel and hammer. 1 good swing cut the top off, then poked the rest down the hole with my finger.

I was driving along and BOOM I saw a spider! No action is too extreme where those things are concerned!
