As the first step, open the fuel flap and unscrew the cap of the fuel filler neck. Just below the flap closure hook, there is a screw to unscrew.

This way, you can easily pull the edge you just unscrewed with your hands. Be careful with the gasket present, and with great care, continue with the extraction of the flap.

Once removed, you can make the necessary replacements. Now, retrace the steps described in reverse for reassembling the various components, and you're done!
