The hose is definitely attached and moving in sync when twisting the cap. I have both the upper and lower clamps fully loosened. I will try your suggestion right now! Thanks,Allan On 10/1/2026 at 12:05 AM, "Tony Drews" wrote: I wonder if the interconnect hose is loose on the gas tank but still attached to the cap. Maybe tighten the clamp on the gas tank end and then see if you can twist it? That would hopefully break it loose from the hose.

It now rotates fairly easily, but I can't get any movement upwards. Is there a special tool that a body shop may have to lift the cap out?

Do you have the hose clamps loosened fully? I would try twisting the cap until you see movement then try to pull out. There should be a rubber grommet installed which should protect the paint.

The chrome gas cap was looking pretty pathetic next to the new paint. I bought a new one from Moss, but am not sure how to get the old one out without messing up the new paint. The new one is not threaded. The old one is also not threaded. Late TR 3As thru TR 3Bs use one described as: GAS CAP, w/integral extension. It slides in and out, but not easily. I cannot make my old one move. Has anyone on the list had any experience with replacing that cap?

They all said it was a good experience. Generally, I think it cost $100 to list a car and the buyer pays maybe 5 percent of the sale price to Bring a Trailer. Take a look at the site. Search for the car you want to sell and see what similar cars have sold for.
