    Does anyone know the size of the screw on the inside of the fuel door for the latch? Went to install the MESO Customs Gasshole and apparently that screw was tightened by Thor. Stripped the hell out of it. Did everything I possibly could to get it out with no avail. Therefore I decided to replace the whole access door.

    I used a very large screwdriver with a very hefty handle. Couldn’t get the screw out with anything else.

    I did the same, stripped it anyway. Tried drilling out the stripped screw, no dice.
