Door - Insert a narrow screwdriver from above in front of the clip arrow A, press the fastening lug in direction of arrow B and hold, and carefully pull off the filler flap 1 upwards.
Hinge - Insert the removal tool at the locking lugs on the left and right and lift via the locking lugs, remove the plastic hinge 2 in direction of arrow from the filler flap 1.

Guys, I am having a BEAR of a time with this. I need to get it to Eric to do some paint matching. Any suggestions?

My bodyshop could not get the tabs to compress enough to remove the fuel filler door (Step A). Eventually they had to break the plastic around the metal hinge pin (Step Z, not pictured). Even with the door removed, I could not extract the clips cleanly. So, I removed the remaining plastic in pieces(Step @#!%, not pictured).
BMW sells an identical hinge (apparently much cheaper than Porsche). When I picked up the fuel filler door, the new hinge was attached. I just snapped it into place. |

Hi Loren, Do I need a special tool remove or install the fuel door hinge? If so, where can I buy one? Thanks for all your help. Ken |

I've done it with a couple of screwdrivers - be careful to not scratch the paint.
