The dealer. See if you can order one offline. If you can't take it off in one piece there is no sense in keeping it.

Try not to get any plastic chunks into the gas tank though.

I may have a replacement in my basement, complete with the flappy hingie things.

I never tried it, but I think the cap is the same as Legacy's and such. You could probably find a replacement without the hingie things at most auto part stores.

I might have a complete assembly as well. If so, and you still want it, we may be able to work out delivery this weekend when I am heading home on the OH turnpike with my new low mileage '95.

Visibility is reduced but I can still drive and it feels solid.

Then again, gas prices sure are rising. Driving sucks.

I have it worse.

L.O.L.

Make sure you crack that thing right down the middle. Gotta leave the threads intact, ya know?

Try to unscrew it. If you use needle nose plyers and pull out on the handles it might just work. Good Luck.
This is after you remove the spinning part.


Oh, whatever you DON'T MAKE ANY SPARKS!

Talking
taken care of. went and got new cap for 7 bucks and beat the old one apart till i could reach in and make it unscrew by hand. it looks like the rubber gasket got kinked and stuck in the cap so it wouldn't unscrew. but problem solved i guess. thanks guys for the quick responses.

It's not often you can fix something by whacking it with a blunt object.
