Hi all,
This is potentially a dumb question but it's stumped me today so here goes...
I've tried to replace my fuel filler cap today as the tether strap broke and the cap itself was looking tired anyway.
Bought a new genuine cap and fitting looked really straightforward...
However I cannot for the life of me get the old plastic rivet out as the hinge mechanism for the fuel flap seems to be in the way??
I've punched the Centre pin out of the rivet to free it off but the main part of the rivet is blocked by the hinge?
Even if I got brutal with it to remove it, (which I'm reluctant to do incase I break anything or scratch the paint), I can't see how I'd get the new one in without damaging it too?
Does the hinge mech have to be removed and if so how?
If not what am I missing here as I'm stumped?!
TIA
Nick
