Hey guys, first post here

I have a 2001 HZJ105, when i went to open the fuel door to refuel the latch mechanism will not release, google says it is a stretched or broken cable which is fine, i can replace that. (replaced door spring a couple years ago so not that)

But until then i still need to get the door open to refuel,
I tried pulling on the cable itself with pliers where it attaches to the release lever but it wont move any further
I can only find info about 80 series which has an emergency release of some sort (idk dads 80 is chopped into a ute)

Attached is a pic of the release mechanism from inside the car, I played with it a bit but id rather ask the experts before i break it lol
