Fuel Door Lid Removal

[firestorm]

How do i remove this thing. I sat there looking at it for like 10 mins and couldnt figure it out. PLEASE HELP!

[oONoGoAutoOo]

u would need a drill and drill down the center and push the rivets off

[firestorm]

waaaaaaa?

Yep, just drill through the top and tap it with a center punch and hammer. voila

I used a dremell on mine but word of advice, have a fire extinguisher next to you, damn sparks can light things up especially next to the gas tank :chuckles: but yeah it's safe to use the drill

what is this whole "drill through the top" do u mean on the actual fuel door? or the hinge. pics would help.

i searched for removing fuel lid. that never popped up in my search

so dont drill in to far. just let it be able to spin?

[SickCelica696]

its not about depth really, its the middle of the "doughnut". don't drill larger than the indentation in it.

[firestorm]

and i just go until it snaps?

[SickCelica696]

yea it'll just pop off, aint you ever popped a cherry? :chuckles:

[firestorm]

ok i just drilled into the donut things and now nothin has happened. its still as tight as before. Im stuck, please help

Read the link I posted...someone clearly outlines EXACTLY what to do in that thread. If you still cant do it, you need to step away from the power tools and hire a professional.
