Default Similar Problem

My cap was working perfect, till I accidently dropped it while fueling my bike. It came apart completely. Does anyone have an exploded view or give me an idea how this goes back together? The pictures from the original post won't show up for me. TYI

Disassemble the gas cap entirely:


NOW THROW AWAY THE SMALL 0.5" COIL SPRING! THIS IS JUNK!

Plug the position lock channel up so the cap cannot twist around as much. I used a paper towel.


Place the circular spring inside the top of the gas cap screw.


Put the plastic position lock in place. Make sure to push it all of the way down on top of the circular spring.


Add the silver ring around the cap screw so that it stays on upside down.


Push the cap screw assembly into the cap as hard as you can!


Put the gas cap back into the bike!


Now enjoy your Willie G. Skull Gas Cap! It won't twist around as freely as it did before and it certainly doesn't fall apart as easily as it did before!
hi,

My Skull Gas Cap just fell down due to a bump on road, Now I'm unable to fix it
