Tire shop employees broke 2007 RX350 spare wheel carrier wire when replacing tire. Braided stainless steel cable wire can't be spliced or welded. The carrier assembly OEM part number is 51900-0E010. Assembly prices are $189 lexuspartnow, $145 ebay, $92 Amazon 3rd party, $90 local junk yard. How would you replace just the cable on the spare wheel carrier assembly? What do you suggest as a cost effective repair, this 07 RX350 is about to turn 200K miles

I'd replace the whole assembly.....I'd say it'd be alot easier....

@Felix Many Thanks. You are right, fishing cable wire is most likely much more difficult than replacing the entire spare wheel carrier assembly
