4th Generation Replace gas release cable

The 97' camry I'm buying, the gas door cable has broken. I know its only like $35 from toyota to get the part, but labor is like $250. Is there a place online i can buy the cable and is it hard to install?

are u sure the cable is broken? It may be the spring. Pull up on the lever and hold it, and have another person try to open the door. This happened to me.

If it's the spring in the door, go to a dealer and get a replacement for $5. Do it yourelf in 60 seconds.
