It slides in to the tail light panel from the outside... I think that's what you're asking.

I just changed mine today. Here is a photo from the outside of the tail light panel and a photo of the filler neck. The filler neck fits in from the outside and attaches to the tail light panel with 5 coarse threaded Phillips head sheet metal screws onto the cork gasket. There is no backing ring on the tail light panel for the screws.

Here is a photo from inside the trunk with the fuel filler neck removed:

Here is a photo of the rubber gasket that goes on the filler neck inside the trunk:

There is also a rubber gasket that goes on the fuel tank where is mates to the fuel filler neck. Go ahead and get all new rubber gaskets for a good seal. Let me know if you need more pics or anything. Mine is in pieces right now waiting on new parts.
