Hi,
The lanyard snapped on the FIAT 500 fuel filler cap and not finding a replacement lanyard I wanted to replace the old cap with a new fuel filler cap with complete lanyard.
The new fuel filler cap comes with a hole for a lock barrel. I wanted to keep the same lock so the ignition keys would lock and unlock the fuel filler cap.
There was very limited information on removing and swapping over the lock barrel on the fuel filler cap on the FIAT (FIAT 500). Using the available information found off the Net I worked out how take apart the fuel filler cap remove the lock barrel and place it into the new fuel filler cap.
Below is the step by step process of the operation, attached are photos of the steps,
1 & 2 removal of the rubber seal
3 prise off the black plastic cap with a flat blade screwdriver
4 lift off black plastic cap
5 break off black plastic tag holding metal U clip.
6 remove metal U clip with flat blade screw driver
7 lift off the white plastic lock/cap
8 push through the barrel of the exposed lock
Insert the barrel into the new cap and using the key align and push the barrel into the correct position where it locks and unlocks properly.
Good luck...
