W126 Gas cap door lock

I've been having some trouble with the locking mechanisim on my 88' 300SEL. It typically doesn't unlock, and is very hard to pull open. It's not in the most convenient location to work on. I have looked at it with a mirror and it appears that it could be removed from the other plastic part that goes through from the outside of the car (inside the gas door), however I haven't been able to remove it yet.
Any idea how it could be removed for servicing without destroying it?

Thanks
