How does one install the new grommet (at the top end of the tube ) ?
Sort of opposite of taking it out.
There is no real install tricks here that I know of. I have a sort of home made tool I use. Essentially a long rod with a step to hold the grommet on. I used to just use a long wooden dowel with a nail through it to hold the grommet. Grease it up, stick it up, then various other punches to get it in. If the motor has the hole in the side of the lower unit right where the grommet goes, that makes it easier.
