If you're doing a complete harness replacement, leave it uncut, fit it into the firewall, thread the new harness through, and go about your rewiring. Cutting the grommet just makes it possible to replace it without disconnecting the whole harness. A little brake fluid on the grommet will make it easier to install, and it won't hurt the rubber like oil would.
