It is a common problem on most jags with that type fuel door.
Here are some links to members who have had similar problems.

Last but not least follow this link to the "how to" section and scroll to the bottom and you can download the shop manual in pdf format.

Hopefully this will help you sort it out.

By the way, if you have the inner wheel housing cover off, you might as well change the fuel filter while it is out in the open!

As far as removing the tension from the release cable, lift the release next to the driver's seat, and simply wedge it into the "up" position with a cloth. That "opens" the latch and leaves it that way until you pull the cloth out and let the latch back down.
