I have a new gas cap with the 4 pins to secure the inner gas section to the cap. can someone out there help with the best way to do this. I assume it is a press fit? The pins seem long and I don't want to crack the new cap. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Not that difficult, OR

The new cap has the four pins w/raised washers on them I hope. If so, it's just a matter of taking your crooked-ended needle nose pliers and bending inward just two of the 'legs' of the inner piece. The two remaining 'legs' should slip under the washers while the two you just bent enough should slip by where you can re-bend them outward and yer done . . . .
