Okay I need to know how to remove the fuel doors off of these trucks. Does anyone have pictures or instructions? It would be completely appreciated thanks.

There's two torx head screws on the hinge side of the opening (door open), Remove the screws and pull door and hinge assembly out of the opening.

Okay thanks a lot.

So, can the door springs be replaced, or does the whole door assembly need to be swapped? I'm holding mine shut with a big magnet now, as I lost the spring last winter.

Springs are available from LMC for $2.95 each.

Search their site for part number 30-3180.
