Default Gas Cap Replacement

I'm switching my H3's OEM gas cap with a stant locking gas cap, and was wondering how to remove the tether from the old cap without cutting it off. I'm hoping to re-use the tether on the new cap.

the easy way is pull the black plastic holder out you can do this with your hands and after take the two tabs squeeze them together and the cap will come out off the holder that waht i did when i put my hummer door on and once your done just push the it back on to the truck .Ihave to remove mine now it going to be differant i want a locking cap to

The fenders are all polycarb plastic, so drilling a hole or two will not be an issue later with rusting.
