YIKES!

Um, you don't need the Audi special tool, but PLEASE do not use
a hammer and screwdriver there!
Screwdriver blade + metal ring + hammer blow = SPARK.
And I think we all know what spark + gas tank equals.

I found it much easier to use a small block of wood.
Pressure treated is better, it's harder. I found a 4 inch
scrap of 2x2 deck baluster which worked just dandy.

Please be careful about sparks around the gas tank!
