The upper sump needs to be removed (subframe etc) or I think you can remove the supercharger and get it out that way or just put sealer around the gromet............................... or cut the bracket off that is preventing the tube from sliding out next to the T/B, but if you do that you will not be able to secure back properly.

Yes I have, but i hade the engine suspended and the subframe out of the car. Lower and upper oilpan removed aswell. It's impossible to get back into the grommet if you do remove it. I had to cut it in half, inser lower half of tube into the grommet and then slide a rubber hose over the dipstick tube and two hose clamps to attach the piece of the tube above

This is one of the hardest jobs I've done on this stupid car lol. I ended up using a tube cutter, cutting the dipstick tube into two halves, inserting the lower half with the new grommet and then using hose and hose clamps to attach the two halves back together. I simply could not get it back in otherwise.
