LOL sorta. if youre looking at the gas cap, to the right there is the plastic piece with the pin in it. from inside the trunk, you can squeeze the tabs on that piece and push it out toward the gas cap. if your gas door is stuck closed and the cable came out, you'll still have to pry the gas door open. which is what happened to me. i then had to poke the cable through the opening where the plastic piece came out and reinsert the cable end into that plastic piece. to prevent the cable from coming off that plastic piece again, i ziptied it :P

I have this same exact problem on my 02 lancer and 04 evo 8. I wonder if they are the same part for both cars.
