Need advice re: Gas cap cover R&R Posted by Arabiflora [Email] ![]() ![]() |
93, 900S, PO supplied gas cap cover that had sheered on the plastic mount that surrounds the filler tube per se. I went to local U-pick, found a functioning replacement and removed the 4 torx screws that appeared to be all that was holding it in place.
No good. It looks like the plastic molding extends to surround the filler tube itself and no amount of gentle pressure-- either directly outwards (w/ screwdriver against body panel) or 'unscrewing' (hoping that it may be threaded onto raw filler tube) made any headway.
My target parts car, previously my ace in the hole, has apparently been crushed since my last visit to the bone yard, and the substitute parts car that I've found is the only with matching torx retaining screws. I didn't want to press my luck with no useful alternative and so deferred until I could consult the experts here. Any pointers re: R&R appreciated...
