Gas Cap Tether Removal/Swap

Gas Cap Tether Removal/Swap
Does anyone here know how to remove the tether from the gas cap for use on a replacement locking cap? A search of Google has been useless and the only topic on the subject here is unclear.
What I'd like to know is what's the trick for removing it from the gas cap. If that's not possible, how is it attached to the plastic funnel and how can I completely disconnect it and keep it and the cap for future use.
Thanks!

I know on the plastic funnel end there is like an arrow like tipat the end of the teather and you squeeze this with needle pliers and the teather will pull through the funnel part.
Of course you have the remove the plastic funnel part itself first.
I never tried to remove it from the cap itself.

My dad has a 2004 Chevy truck and for christmas one year I bought him a locking gas cap. He ran into the same problem but he eneded up just cutting it off. I guess it depends how bad you want to keep it on how you remove it.

Very easy. Follow steps 1 &3 of the installation instructions I posted for the Chrome fuel door hearfuel door cover . The teather is easy to remove with the plastic cup off. Then just reverse, push the plastic cup bacj on w/o the tether.

Yes sir 3hummers. Awesome place we have here. Helped me decide to buy a Hummer and then helps keeps me from destroying it.
Never ceases to amaze me that no matter how obscure the question someone has an answer. Who knew WD40 was good for removing the dealer sticker. Stuff like that's been invaluable.

Hehe I can relate. There are those "good" war wounds that you earned the hard way or were totally unavoidable. Then there are those stupid ones where you slap your palm on your forehead, say WTF was I thinking, and stay pissed at yourself for a long time. [:@]
