1-3-2-4 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 So I finally got the pipe from the dealer (annoyed on that part) from Subarupartsforyou.com Anyways I got that with the 3 screws They are labeled screws for fuel filler top.. Are these the one that replace the screws on the gas inlet? They look different. I figure I'd do it now it's raining but timing is good since I'm pretty much on a empty tank. Any tips on removing the hoses? Is the hose on the evap part hard to remove? I don't think I've seen talk on that part before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Wow that is beautiful. Maybe the new screws are a different size and/or thread pitch than the originals, or maybe they just figure they might be rusted out so you get new ones with it. I haven't done this job yet, but in general for hoses I use grooved channel locks to grab the hose and twist it clockwise and counter clockwise until its death grip on what it is hooked to is loosened. Then usually they will pull off. Of course care is needed because it can damage the hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 IIR there is a rubber gasket at the top where the flange that takes the 3 screws hits the body. It's easy enough to see which screws work. Do they look the same (diameter and thread pitch)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yeah same but looks like you can use a socket on the new screws however the head on the old one stripped so going to still out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Maybe an air drill would be safer than electric? considering the and all. But I suppose the drilling could still make sparks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thats an improvement. I've scrapped cars with good (newer replaced) filler necks because I couldn't get those crappy slotted screws out and wasn't gonna take a chance at blowing up the garage to get jus tone part off the car. And the rubber gasket I spoke off keeps tension on those screws for a few turns. A bolt head is a definate improvement. I still always anti-seized them.
