I hit something in the road last week and caused my rear Driver's side tire to blow out. Whatever I had hit was slung up into my tire well and hit my gas filler down tube. It's bent up pretty bad. When I put gas into the the x it leaks out of the tube in one spot. I'm still able to fill my tank, and there is no leaking once the tank is full. But, I would like to get this fixed. I was wondering how hard is it to replace this? Is it all one piece with the gas tank, or does the filler tube disconnect from the tank. If that's the case how easy is this to find this part and replace?
 






the filler tune disconnects from the tank. At the tank there is two clips, one on each side of the filler tube. Release the clips and pull out the tube. After that, place the new tube in and it clicks right in
