Fuel filler pipe

Oddly I cant see it in either the Haynes manual or on youtube, the best suggestion I can give is have a look at this one, as it seems to at least somewhat cover taking out the filler pipe as a way of getting to the tank. I'm assuming they didnt do anything weird at the back of the 1.6, especially not to the tank

I did my fuel filler yesterday, it took 30 minutes, took of rear off side wheel then 2 bolts at the bottom of the filler pipe undid the jubelle clips on both pipes, and then it fell out. make sure to clean wheel arch of all mud and ****, to stop it falling into tank pipe, and just reverse for fitting.
(Warning) i bought a replacement on line obviously pattern part and it doesn't quiet fit as original did, so may bee go oem!
Wow that's bad isn't it. We run my late father in law's 05 plate 1.2 petrol as a utility car (dogs, rubbish etc..!) and it has a rusty filler neck but was a seaside car for much of its life, despite only having 37k miles on it, so I half expected it, along with the rusty slam panel but it seems a common issue by the look of it.
