had a bad experience with mine too. thought i could get away with it, and i didnt. hole in my driveway now because of the leak. its ****ty how they changed that grommit for the 99+ because I had ordered the wrong one which is why i left it alone when the 99+ one came in.

i replaced mine on a 98 and did NOT drop the tank. it is a mother but allot easier than dropping the tank. its a 2 man job but just loosen the tank straps and it will go its not easy though
