• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable for the Primary Latch Release on 2008 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: In order to replace the hood primary cable, one has to lift the vehicle and remove the front wheelhouse rear filler panel, after which you gain access to the Hood Latch, and then trip the latch with a long screwdriver. First, remove the right and left hood latches and then remove the cable from the latches. Keep the cables out of your way to easily pass through the hole in the dash panel, then take out the screws from the cable handle and the cable grommet inside the dash panel. Pull cables through the opening in dash panel. For installation, route the cables through the opening made on the dash panel and fix the handle of the latch. Remove the screws that fasten the hood handle to the body, tightening them to 2 n.m (18 lb in). Put the grommet in the carpet insulator slits and the dash panel, attach the cables to the latches, and attach the hood latches. Finally, check the operation of the latches.
