This is my first post. I bought my 67 Dart in December and quickly learned I need to change the filler neck grommet. I bought one and I'm trying to replace it. Do I have to drop the tank to do that? And if I don't does anyone know a trick to getting that thing out? I've lubed up the tube and it moves freely, but it doesn't seem like there is enough room to pull it out.
I have a copy of the service manual and it says,
Grasp filler tube with both hands, twist tube, and at same time, force downward into tank, until
end of tube clears quarter panel. Remove gasket. (If tube is frozen in tank, use a rubber lubricant
around joint and work into grommet, after sliding dust shield out of way.)
(6) Twist (or rotate) filler tube approximately 180 degrees, then work tube carefully out of tank and
dust shield seal. Remove tube from inside of trunk
compartment.
Any help is much appreciated.
