    OMC did make a special tool for doing that job. A long aluminum rod with the step for the top of the grommet to rest on. The is a flat spot where the grommet ears are located to allow the grommet to compress due to it ears crushing. Once the grommet seems to be in place, simply turn the rod, the high spots will force the grommet ears in place.
