4 Immerse the housing assembly in a container of hot water for approximately ten minutes, then prise the hinge cover from the housing, and using a screwdriver, prise the filler flap hinge legs out of the sockets in the housing.
Refitting

flap and housing, as during removal, then
push the flap hinge legs into the housing.
