chrome fuel door installation

[intim3]

Hi. This question is about the installation of the Mopar chrome fuel door. There were no instructions with the part however I understand basically all that is needed is to remove the 2 T30 torx screws on the factory fuel door. This is my problem. I have never removed torx screws before, only philips, flat-head, and allen ones. I bought a T30 torx screwdriver with the standard size screwdriver handle. I could not budge them. So, I bought a set of torx screwdrivers that are basically like in an allen wrench set. They are curved about 90 degrees and have a torx end on either end. I tried this and it would not budge and sometimes it would slip off. Luckily I didn't bust my knuckles. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The Torx screws are probably just rusted in. Get yourself some Liquid Wrench or other product to soak the screws and loosen them up.

You can also try a torx socket.A ratchet might give you more leverage.

I replaced mine on a '06, was able to remove them with NO problem, Liquid Wrench or WD-40 may do the job. Good Luck

I work at sears in the tool department.. so here it goes...

BUY a T30 socket for the 3/8 dr ratchet.. That will give you more torque vs a screwdriver or 90 degree "sticks"
