RE: flush gas caps
You shouldn't need the service manual. But there is info in it onexactly how to takethe connectors apart and which wire goes where.
IMHO the manual is worth every penny if for no other reason then it DOES tell, and showyou where everything is, how to get it apart, and more importantly how to get itback together the right way.
If you don't have one already. I suggest you can't go wrong getting one, and the parts manual that goes along with it.

RE: flush gas caps
Yes, I also think that the service manual should be the first thing you should buy if your the do-it-yourselfer. Anyway I got a set of these last Christmas, and to install the new fuel guage, a wire in a plug under the dash needs to be exchanged. An extrasmall flat-tip screwdriver works very well for extracting the pins from the plug.

RE: flush gas caps
I just installeda set of the HD flush gas cap & fuel gauge - I hadve no manual.
The gas capis an easy install. The only tricky part is to get the outer ring lined up to sit flush on the gas tank. I used their suggested masking tape method & it worked out great.
The fuel gauge is only a bit trickier because of the last step to get the wires inserted into the black connector properly. The wiresonly go in to the plug one way. A bit of fiddleing with it at the bench, prior to installation, and you will see how they install.
When job is completed, theyreally look great. Highly recommended mod.
Happy new year.
