How to: Remove rubber around the gas flap

i presume that it might be best to leave it through the rubber piece + just disconnect it from the rubber hose below. thoughts?
I agree with Chris: it will be in the way. Just lube it up with something like spray silicone and it will slip out of and back into the boot with a little persuading and wiggling. One of the easier steps in this ordeal.
 
Breiti:

It's great that you were able to install your fuel filler door so easily, while everyone else in this thread struggled to get it done. But tell me: did you do it with the black rubber boot in place?
In the video i posted in post #40 (with a bunch of explanations), you can see that install of the fuel door can be done with the rubber boot installed.
With my suggested modification, you can even single handedly while videoing it with the other hand :-)
