howto replace the gas cap duckbill valve

[keknw8]

the cap leaks fuel a bit when turned on its side...so....s

so i poked a dentist pick into the hole from the underside of the gas cap and when i removed it, it was covered in black goo. 

i read on this thread,  houseofhomelite.proboards.com/thread/1009,  about the duckbill could turn into duck soup.  and maybe that is what happened to this one.  .

is an ice pick or similar the tool to use to pry out the brass filter so i can replace the old duckbill valve? i don't want to damage that brass filter plug.

edit1: i found this video that shows how to change the duckbill out, guess that answers most of my question.

edit2: that is some difficult to clean primordial ooze from that dissolved duckbill. mineral spirits, thinner, were basically useless. denatured alcohol was ok but carb cleaner worked the best. and a lot of q-tips and a few tooth picks. took a few soaks of the brass filter too before it quit seeping that black ooze.

Yes just get something sharp like a pick against the brass filter and pop it out. Then you can dig out what's left of the rubber goo and put the new duckbill in.
