Fuel filling door cable repair or replace. - 6G Celicas Forums

Hi,

I have a 1997 1.8 ST Right hand drive.

I think I've snapped the fuel door cable (If thats the right terminology). It had been sticky for a while and sometimes wouldn't open. It wouldn't open yesterday so I gave it a good old yank and it made a nasty sound. The door opened and I filled her up. Now it wont open. I fear I've snapped the cable.

How hard is it to replace or repair?

If it's a total replacement I guess I need this type of thing:

The button is on the opposite side from the door so I'm guessing routing could be a pain.

Anybody have experioence of this?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
