I can't relate to the filler port but in other situations,  I put the rubber grommet in very hot water to get it more flexible, a little silicone grease on it and work it in. I have used this on the prop hub, and during rebuilding of brake valves etc.  where you run across the same tight fit. Good luck

 Has anyone replaced the rubber grommet in the Air fill port ? I have the new rubber grommet. If so any tips om how you get the wider diameter base into a smaller diameter hole on the fitting itself ?
