I have a 2011 Lexus RX 350.  The fuel door release acutuator/motor needs to be replaced per the Lexus dealership.  I've already replaced the spring on the fuel door which was to no avail.  How do I get to the fuel door release motor to replace it?  The Lexus dealership said it was very hard to get to.  I've researched until I'm exhausted and haven't found any information on how to go about replacing this part.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

  1. I'm not sure if this would work with the RX but on my GS I can just use a magnet to pull the door open it's probably not answer you wanted to hear but it should work

Thank you!  What exactly does the magnet do?  I typically have to use a pocket knife to pry and release the button.
