Gas flap or door removal?

[johonole]

Does anyone know how to remove the gas flap or door from the car? I need to take it for a color match. I played with it for about an hour today but could not get it off the car.

I went through the workshop man. and could not find anything on it.

Thanks

Thank you very much Loren. I did search 2 other sites and go through the workshop manual before I tried here. I should have known you would know. Did that info come from the workshop manual?

Thanks- John

Yes, from the workshop manual. I have done this a couple times and the instructions are good.

Sorry to go off topic but i was wondering this myself and when I was giving you a +1 rating Loren, I realized you've been at outstanding for quite sometime now and was thinking you need to make yourself some new reputation levels. 1000 rep definitely can't stay at "Outstanding", perhaps "Epic" or "Legendary" or maybe MC Hammer's "Legit." Just my $0.02.

I've done this and would not recommend it unless you have to do it (like to replace the gas door spring as I had to). There's a high risk of damaging the gas door or your fender. I would remove the front tow hook instead.
