Breaking off the plastic tabs
To replace the fuel cap on a Honda, you first need to remove the liner surrounding the cap. Then, there are six plastic tabs that need to be broken off. This can be done by lifting and holding all six out of the way, but it is a huge pain, so it is recommended to just break them off. Once the tabs are broken, unlock the cap by inserting a flat-head screwdriver into the top slot and bending the cap up a little bit.

Unscrewing the philips screws
First, you need to remove the gas cap from the tank. This can be done by removing the most forward bolt and the two aftmost bolts. With the gas cap removed, you will have access to the philips screws.
Now, you will need two small screwdrivers. Use one screwdriver to lift up the rubber piece that covers the screws. Be careful not to damage the rubber piece as it may be necessary to put it back in place later. With the rubber piece lifted, use the other screwdriver to carefully unscrew the philips screws. It is important to note that you should not completely remove the screws from their holes, as this will make it difficult to put them back in later.
Once the screws are unscrewed, you can proceed with the rest of the fuel cap replacement process. Remember to keep the screws in a safe place so that you can easily find them when it's time to reassemble the fuel cap.
Please note that this guide provides general instructions, and it is always recommended to refer to your vehicle's specific manual or seek professional assistance if you are unsure about any steps.
