• Q: How to replace the Release Hood Cable on 2002 Chevrolet Camaro?

  A: The initial step to replace a Hood Cable requires tools like small flat-blades to insert into the latch clip located on the primary latch to detach the cable. The cable grommet from the primary latch needs to be prised out before pulling the hood cable through the radiator support hole. Pull the body hinge pillar trim panel from the driver side before undoing hood cable screws as well as removing the hood cable handle. Use a small flat-bladed tool to detach the cowl grommet and document the hood cable route before pulling the cable out. The proper routing of the hood cable starts with installation into the cowl which should be followed by insertion of the cowl grommet. Install the hood cable handle and the hood primary latch cable screws by tightening them to 7 N.m (62 lb in). The body hinge pillar trim panel requires replacement on the driver side while the hood cable must connect to the primary latch by securing it onto the cable clip then passing it through the radiator support hole before inserting the end into the latch clip while attaching the cable grommet.
