    If your fuel door hinge is broke you are better off breaking them off then replace it with a new one (less than $10.00 at the stealership). If you have to remove a good working hinge you need a small thin screwdriver and push two tabs in from the gas filler side of the hinge. There is a very small slit on the very back edge of the door hinge where you can insert the screwdriver and push aside the two snap-tabs. It looks easy but it is frustrating because you have to tug the door outward as you are pushing the tabs. Good luck!

    Default Yes, I got it. Not too bad but easy to break if you get frustrated
