Easiest way is to open the trunk, disconnect the vent line from
the filler neck, remove the clamp from the filler neck to the
rubber filler hose & work the filler out from the body. Once
it is out you can reach the screws on the bottom of the cap &
disassemble the lock from the bottom.

<p><font size="4">Hey, group –</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Having just cleared the last of the stuff
stacked on top of my 1970 2000 Roadster hangar queen,
SRL311-13291, I pulled back the car covers to open the
trunk and to take a look down into the fuel tank. Problem
is, the locking fuel cap doesn’t seem to want to unlock.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">How far does the key turn to unlock the gas
cap? Mine goes about ⅛ of a turn before hitting a hard
stop. I squirted some Teflon spray lube into the lock and
around the edges of the bit that turns – no change. Of
course, I don’t want to apply too much force, so I may
just wait and see if the lube loosens things up over time.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I have been clearing out my garage on and
off since retiring in June 2024, and am just about at the
point where I can get around to both sides of the car and
the front and rear so that I can assess it and, with any
luck, start working to get it back on the road.</font></p>
