Hi everyone, The fuel door switch finally broke after many years of service so I bought a brand shiny new one however I need to remove the locking barrel that sits in the middle (see pic) of the panel so I can fit it to the new one. This is getting to be very frustrating as there are no visible tangs or detents that I could push down to remove it. There is a bracket that is attached to the back of the panel by 3 screws which I have already removed but the lock still will not budge. Any ideas from my esteemed fellow Lexus owners would be greatly appreciated.
