Ford S-max WA6 fuel door housing

Hi,

 

I currently own a ford S-max and the fuel filler door housing is broken. I have removed the wheel arch to get to it and also the rear boot trim and so far can't find a way to access it.

 

Does anyone know how to removed the housing so I can repair the pin?

 

Thank you in advance

    This YouTube video is of a Ford Edge, but should be similar to the S-Max

    I finally managed to complete this job. 

     

    Access to the clips were in the boot but was covered by insulation. Once I removed the old housing I had to remove the wheel arch lining to reinstall the new one. To do this without causing any damage I had to loosen the fuel filler pipe off it's bracket to allow movement but finally after 2 years of my filler cap flapping around in the wind and opening when the car is being washed it's finally fixed.
