Permanent Repair Kit Fuel Tank Repair Kit (Fuel Door Hinge Pin with Gas Door Spring) Fit for 2007-2021 Tundra Replace#: 77368-0C010

Product Description

1566 Steel Gas Door Spring
Our fuel tank repair kit features a gas door spring crafted from 1566 steel. This high - quality steel provides excellent strength and resilience to ensure the spring functions effectively over an extended period. To further enhance its durability, the spring's surface is coated with a layer of nickel. This nickel plating serves as a protective barrier, effectively solving the common problem of rusting. Rust can weaken the spring and compromise its performance, but with this corrosion - resistant coating, you can trust that the gas door spring will maintain its integrity, even in challenging environmental conditions.

Aluminium Alloy Hinge Pin
We've addressed a common issue with ordinary hinge pins, which are typically made of plastic. Plastic hinge pins are not highly wear - resistant and are prone to breaking over time due to the constant movement and stress they endure. To overcome this, we've upgraded the material of the fuel filler neck housing fix pin to aluminium alloy. Aluminium alloy offers significantly higher hardness compared to plastic, making it more resistant to wear. Additionally, the surface of the aluminium alloy hinge pin undergoes an oxidation treatment. This treatment not only enhances its wear - resistance but also provides excellent corrosion - resistance, ensuring that the hinge pin remains in good condition and functions properly for a long time.

Installation
Installing the components in this fuel tank repair kit is a straightforward process. First, ensure that you insert the fuel door lid clip into the top hinge part. This is a crucial initial step to ensure proper alignment and functionality of the fuel door. Next, insert the R - type cotter pin into the fuel filler pocket. This secures the hinge mechanism in place. Finally, insert the other end of the gas tank door spring into the buckle of the housing. By following these simple steps, you can easily complete the installation. This kit is designed to effectively solve the problem of a loose fuel filler housing, restoring the proper functionality of your fuel tank's access components.
