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?

They're easier to remove after the lines are pulled out of the grommets. If you take a large blade screwdriver and carefully push the grommet from the outside circumference in towards the center, they will usually bend and from there you can pry them out. If they are really dried up they'll crack and split no matter what you do. But in my experience those grommets usually come out OK.
