Thanks, Mike, that is exactly the way I tried it first, with much
frustration. Maybe the grommet I bought is not correct but it was so tight
(even with WD-40) it was just impossible to move the neck inside it after
installation in the body. I hoped I was missing something and maybe dish
soap or shampoo or another slippery substance might be the real secret.
