The technique I've seen used requires a body dent puller with a slide weight. You screw the dent puller into the lock of the gas cap and using the sliding weight "slap" the lock cylinder from the cap. This will DESTROY the cap resuiring a new unit to be installed after removal. In some circumstances it is also possible that damage to the filler neck can occur. So if you decide to use the technique described work to avoid damage to the vehicle fuel system.

How do you remove a petrol cap on a Ford Fiesta style car?
if your lock on the petrol cap is broken, there are a couple of options. ( 1) (if the key has broken inside the lock) call a locksmith and stump up the bill. (2) (if there is no key or the key is not in the lock) Use a cross head screwdriver and put the tip inside the lock, Grab an average hammer and whack it a few times, wiggle the screwdriver until you hear lots of small plastic cracks, whack it again a few more times and hopefully the whole petrol cap should seprate from its locking flanges. simply remove the remains with a pair of pliers and a magnetic aerial thingy.

How can you tell if your timing belt is broken on a 1985 Honda Accord?
If the timing belt has broken the engine will not start. If the belt broke you will have internal engine damage as this is an interference engine. The belt must be replaced every 60,000 miles. a quick way to verify if the belt is broken is to remove the distributor cap and turn the engine by hand. If the rotor does not turn the belt is broken. You can also remove the oil fill cap and look at the valve train. If you see no movement when the engine is turned by hand the belt is broken. Of course if the engine is locked up the belt is broken as the valves are hitting the pistons. quick way to confirm a
Why would a key get stuck in the on position in a 1990 Chevy S10 Blazer?
It's most likely the spring cap on the lock plug that keeps the lock wafers and springs in place. That's what allows the lock to work properly. (It's much more common for the cap to spring in the locked position, making it impossible to turn to the On position.) When the cap springs while the vehicle is running, your only real option is to get to a dealer or locksmith who knows how to remove the steering wheel, disassemble the steering column down to the lock cylinder and remove/replace it without making a royal and EXPENSIVE mess out of the deal. Don't try to stop the engine; you won't be able to restart it, then you will need to tow the vehicle as well - adding another Benjamin to the bill!Replacement lock cylinders are readily available and only cost about $25 if that much plus the labor to remove/replace it, about 30 minutes.

On the base of the lock cylinder facing the driver's seat, there is a small metal latch. If you patiently feel around on the lock cylinder base you will locate it. Simply flip this small metal latch, and the lock to the release lever will be disengaged. Pull the release and voila, your trunk pops open!
