Thank you for explaining the part on how to separate the clip. I used a finer tool to press on the square tabs to release the clip. I couldnt have done it without this video. 😀
Funny how all of the comments are within the past few weeks. The brittleness of these tethers must be pretty consistent. Thanks for the video. I was confused about the clip.
Here's me thinking that tether goes into the car's sensor and electrical system. Instead it's just a janky anchor haha. Thank you very much for this video! Super super helpful to help replace my gas cap and clear a low emissions light.
Thank you so much for your comment! I replaced mine because I saw so many comments about bad caps throwing codes. I’m not sure what interval you’re supposed to change them.I’ll have to research that. Thank you again!
@@rarerepair Yeah, mine (Kia Sorrento) wouldn't pass inspection because of the damned gas cap. They test them now in Texas. And, I don't mind, but I didn't know anything was wrong.
@@rarerepair I’ve been getting so many intermittent gas codes. I’ve had the car 9 years and went to the junk yard yesterday for an unrelated part. Anyways that’s when I realized my gas cap should definitely get replaced. I keep twisting my civic’s gas cap until it’s actually closed. Noticed the accords were very quick and sturdy to close.
Thanks so very much I was kind in a hurry to change the cap of my wife car, she was needing it pronto and ended up receiving the new gas cap without the square peg cap wire holder did know it could be open just by pressing at the right place ordering one and waiting another 2 weeks was out of question and did want to go to the dealership would have want to sell me another OEM gas cap at the inflated price around 79$ !
thanks for your video. was wondering how to take out clip on the side... manage to do it. mine the tether snaped and bought online a replcement but it was not a straight forward installation so your video did help. thank you again.
I think it’s good to order a new cap and a new retaining clip and just replace them both at the same time. It seems to be easier. The retaining clip is I think a dollar or some thing. I’m glad it helped. Thank you.
Another option that's a little quicker is to just work the ring off of the gas cap. It'll slide off the side where the hand grip is. Once you get the ring over the edge, use your finger to work the ring completely out of the groove. Then you don't have to mess with the clip. The ring then slipped onto the new gas cap no problem. Just did this on my Accord instead of what's done in this video.
Does that work if the tether was snapped off already? The gas cap itself is not the problem. My old gas cap works just fine but the tether broke off so that's the reason I'm replacing the whole gas cap.
@@JaimeGstl A new gas cap never hurts, the clip that holds the silicone tether is an expensive piece.If you buy a new clip or anchor that goes into your gas door you can cut the old one off carefully and install the new one.
@@nomercymayhem It’s possible your idea could work I’m sure it does, I observed what you described. That ring just goes around the gas cap and I imagine you could work it loose. Thanks for the good suggestion
If you have a 2014 Odyssey like me, good luck trying to reach the clip from the backside. Thought I would just break it off and replace it while installing my new cap. The cost of that clip is almost the same for the cap itself. Next, look up the price for the two little rubber bumpers on the fuel door that will also need replacing. I fell into this rabbit hole just because I wanted to replace the broken cap lanyard.
Excellent video. I order gas cap from Amazon but it only came with cap and tether, the clip was not included. Used the original clip from vehicle and was able to open it up to attach new tether/cap due to your video showing how to open up clip. Thanks.
I was finally able to work the clip out but then needed a way to open it. I found another great video on how to do just that. You just need a bobby pin and to know which groove to fit it in. It wasn't easy to get the clip out but with patience and a few scratches on the car 😱 I got it out intact. I just had regular needle nose pliers though not the curved ones that were shown in the video.
It’s not easy, I was thinking it may be easier to clip the anchor part off. The anchor part that goes in to hold the silicone tether is so inexpensive it’s disposable. I may have to make another video. Sorry for taking so long to respond to your comment.
Just push the retainer through from the back side using a screw driver or other long pointy thing. It’ll pop right out. Then you can open the retainer, attach the new tether, pop it back in, and away you go.
Thanks for this. Yeah, I couldn't pass inspection on my Kia Sorrento, because the gas cap was failing the inspection. I didn't have an engine light, but I needed to get inspection sticker.
For me, I just removed the 2 10 millimeters bolts to remove the whole gas door and found it was very easy to get access to remove the plastic clip this way.
you didnt explain how to open the tether which is really the whole trick. The needle nose does not "fit" into the square like you say (and didnt show). The tether is almost impossible to open. But thanks anyways.
I know this sounds sort of junky, but I just used the original tether with the original wire and tied a knot with it around the new connecting wire on the new fuel cap. I went online to Stant's website and they have removed all of their application instruction sheets online. I don't know why, but I think they have a totally different way of installing a new tethered fuel cap and I would like to see what they suggest before proceeding any further.
I couldn't figure out the clip on the back. I used the pliers the just pull it off. It got mangled. The new gas cap had a wire to go threw that hole. I did so, added a zip tie. Cut off the excess and rigg'n 101
That fucking clip is a pain in the ass to remove if you dont have a proper tool. I was almost tempted to rip it off with a regular plier and buy a new clip
Had the volume turned off on purpose for the video and ONLY wanted to see the act of it actually being installed and fixed but then nothing happened. Frustrating and a waste of my time.
Thank you for explaining the part on how to separate the clip. I used a finer tool to press on the square tabs to release the clip. I couldnt have done it without this video. 😀
Thank you sir
It helped me
Especially the 2nd part
Pushing in the square
I used a fine flat head

Thank you again
Thanks for showing this, it took a few minutes and $2 to replace.
That’s great good to hear. Thank you.
Funny how all of the comments are within the past few weeks. The brittleness of these tethers must be pretty consistent. Thanks for the video. I was confused about the clip.
Thank you sooo much for this video. I was seconds away from breaking the little clip for being inpatient
So was I, it was maddening trying to figure it out but thankfully was able to. Glad you appreciate the video thank you

My car is an Acura, but you gave me a Good idea!! Thanks and Blessing!!
@@ernestosorto588 I’m really happy to hear that. Thank you so much. Blessings to you too!
Thanks! I bought a replacement gas cap, but it’s really not intuitive how you attach it to the car. Your video made it simple.
I’m really touched at how pleasant people have been generally. These kind of comments make me want to make more videos!
thank you!
Thanks a lot ! It was not obvious how to remove the clip. Thanks to you, you showed us how it works. Merci beaucoup!!!
It took some figuring for me as well. It reminded me of removing a zip tie! I’m very happy this helped
Merci beaucoup!
Thanks for the video! Female here trying to replace the cap on my Honda and your video helped!
Thank you I’m glad to hear it! It’s almost time for me to replace mine again
Recommended 100%. It's not obvious when you try and do it yourself. This took me 5 minutes after I watched it. 2013 Acura TL.
Thank you, so glad it helped. It’s a bit tricky.

Hi, I still can’t get the clip out, can you share me the video how to remove the clip?
Just push the retainer through from the back side using a screw driver or other long pointy thing. It’ll pop right out. Then you can open the retainer, attach the new tether, pop it back in, and away you go.
Appreciate the vid it helped with my 06 civic
I’m happy to hear it. Thank you for saying.
Just did mine today. Thank you for this video 🙏
That’s great! I’m glad it helped!
Is this a diy for all honda car year models or other ones too, and not hard than fix or replace the part below gas cap?
This was the same fuel cap I had on a 2001 Honda odyssey. Must be common for Honda.
Thanks for this video .. it helps me understand how to pull the clip.
I’m going to do a follow up video on how to install a new one as well. Glad this helped!
Thanks for this. Yeah, I couldn't pass inspection on my Kia Sorrento, because the gas cap was failing the inspection. I didn't have an engine light, but I needed to get inspection sticker.
I hope you pass inspection
Perfect, worked on my 2013 pilot but had to remove the plastic body cover on the gas cap cover in order to reach the back of the push in plug.
The pilot is a great vehicle!
Did you had a check fuel cap is the reason for replacement. If yes does the error goes after buy it self after replacement? Thanks for the video
Thank you. 🎉
@@PlacidoCisneros thank you!
For me, I just removed the 2 10 millimeters bolts to remove the whole gas door and found it was very easy to get access to remove the plastic clip this way.
That’s great! I never thought of that!
What year and model??? I have a 2016 odyssey and removing bolts did nothing it was like it was welded on @lamkinh7

I was thinking if you just snipped off the anchor you could buy a new anchor and install the fuel cap and tether
Thanks this is helpful!

Does 2007 honda accord EX 2.4L fit the same?
Just type in 2007 Honda Accord EX gas cap Either on Google or Amazon. I think they’re all the same but I might be wrong.
@@rarerepair I was doing that and it said it fit but just wanted to make sure
Is there a reason you started the video halfway through the process?
Thanks
Does the gas cap wire have to be connected
It’s just a silicone tether, it’s not connected to anything or a sensor. It’s not necessary.
Thank You
You’re welcome!
Pretty cool can you update us with the finished product
I’m going to do another video on full install. Thank you!

Has anyone got a p0498 code and resolved it by replacing the gas cap?
thank u !
That’s kind of you to say, I’m glad it helped!
Nice
That fucking clip is a pain in the ass to remove if you dont have a proper tool. I was almost tempted to rip it off with a regular plier and buy a new clip
It really is terrible. If you can get the old one off it’s worth it to buy a new one. I think they’re only a dollar or some thing.
You goober! You didn’t show how you got the clip out of the fuel door!
I love that this really made me smile and laugh 😂

appreciate the effort but this wasn’t much help.
