RE: [T3]More on fuel door release


I just had this problem as well. The secret for me was
to NOT pull the release cable too hard.
	Good point
I pulled my cable right out from pulling too hard.  I took the cable unit
out, there's only two screws holding it in and the knob unscrews. It is
easier with the glove box out.
I carefully pried open the case and managed to use a bicycle brake cable
$2.00 to repair it. It does not quite have the right end termination and I
had to solder the loose end ate the knob end of the Bowden but it has worked
for over two years now. I cleaned all the old lube out and replaced it with
clean grease. Now carefully clean the cover and the mating surface with
solvent and re-bond it with epoxy. Reinstall and Voila!
