I finally dipped into my wallet for a new gas filler neck before the old one turns to crumbles. I've only been putting it off 9 years now....

Before I go to do the swap--are there any things that tend to bite or tips/tricks to save hassles? Everything looks obvious...but tight clearances and fit might make the change a bit fiddly. I figured it was better to ask a silly sounding question before I dug in and had issues than battle something there was an easy procedure to accomplish if you knew the "trick".

Hopefully the answer is "Goes right in, slick as snot".

Thanks
