Default Changing the gas door actuator spring

Hi, do i have to get to the actuator spring by going through wheel well or can i get to it by removing the screws inside the gas well where i put the gas in and move it to the left. It the small spring that pushes out the small plastic rod that keeps the gas door lached. The actuator and interior release buttons are working just fine.
