    Hey guys,

    Need to get my fuel filler neck off. Done a search, not much coming up apart from removing the tank.

    Anyone done this before?

    Cheers, Shannon.

    3 torx screws under the petrol cap, big plastic screw inside the wheel arch and one clip holding the neck to the tank then it should come free. Think there might be a clip on the overflow but it's pretty easy to get off.

    Cheers Ben! I did undo the 3 torx screws under the fuel cap and the clip from the neck to the tank! Didn't see the "big plastic screw" that you mention, was pretty caked in road crap! I'll have another look at some point. Thanks again.

    No worries, yeah all the mud sticks in that area a load of it fell out from behind when I removed mine and a nice rust patch behind it
