2008 Yaris Sedan Fuel Door Cable Broke

I have a 2008 Yaris sedan that I need to fix a fuel door cable on. The cable has broken (rusted out) near the pull lever by the seat. I have managed to take the plastic lever off and put a pair of vise-grips on what's left of the cable to open the fuel door. I have the replacement cable and can see where the cable goes to the fuel door and can access it from the rear quarter panel but my question is this: How do I removed the old cable from the fuel door?

I have seen this post: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53149 but it doesn't say how to remove it.

Is there a clip that needs to be removed, it's a in a bit of a tight spot and I can't tell.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Once you pull the trunk liner away and can access the cable that attaches to the fuel filler door, you should just be able to rotate the entire assembly counter-clockwise. It should come free, but be sure to not lose both the black plastic clip that attaches in the trunk, and the plastic cover inside the fuel door.

Thanks Hilbert, I was able to replace the cable and by using the counter-clockwise rotation you suggested. Thanks for your help :)
