i also used plyers when the nail went as far as it could go.
oh, also some WD40 too, or something along those lines.

Yeah i have a cf fuel door to install; trying to take my oem one off and with a hammer and nail; well i have a little file; but i have been banging and banging on that pin and its not budging; so maby i have to jack up my car and remove the bolts and take the door off that way; wih the hinge would be attached to the fuel door, so i would still have to take the hinge off the oem door and install it on the cf door; oh man for something so simple its just pissing me off.................

Wow; was not the easiest thing to install
Took for ever trying to get the pin out of the oem door; and that's with the door right off the car. I had to jack her up and take the two bolts out and put the gas fuel door in a vice and use a nail and file to pound out the pin, this took a long time, it was so tight and i had a hard time finding a nail that was thin enough and long enough to fit in the slot where the pin is.
Then i had a hard time getting one of the new pins in, then lining up the fuel door on the car; making sure the gaps were even, crazy; but its all done now; took me like two hours,LOL
