This has works great as there is zero chance for marring the neck. Before re-installing the neck use anti seize on the threads Jon B. 2/3rds through upgrade. _____ From: bressler@wyoming.com Subject: Zenith-List: RE: Fuel Cap 601XL Peter: If your fuel cap is the same as ours which stuck pretty hard, I cut a 2=94 piece of =BC=94 by 1=94 aluminum bar and gripped it with a pair of vice grips. I inserted into the slots and used a crescent wrench to turn the vice grips until it would unscrew by hand. Good Luck with your build. DO NOT ARCHIVE Wes & Lurlene Bressler, Laramie WY, USA Working on the upgrade. >http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Zenith-List ronics.com ww.matronics.com/contribution _____ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.

When I put mine on originally I used some permatex on the threads but it was still a bit hard coming off.
