First, you need to remove the grille and the
Hood Latch to replace the hood primary Hood Cable. Release the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch assembly, then attach mechanic's wire length at exterior end of the cable, marking for installation later. Release the retainers that keep the cable clamped to inner fender and radiator support, then pull the cable outer grommet through the cowl panel into the vehicle interior. Remove from the bolts that attach the hood release handle to the knee bolster and disconnect the cable from the release handle. Pull the cable through the cowl panel and out from behind sound insulation and then take the mechanic's wire off the cable but keep it in place for installation. In order to install the new cable, connect the mechanic's wire to the outside end. Proceed to use that as the guide of the cable underneath the sound insulation, from the exterior end pass through the cowl panel. Mount the cable to the release handle and seat the cable grommet to the cowl panel. Replace the release handle into the knee bolster and fasten it with tightened bolts to 1 nm (9 lb in). Route the cord as mentioned above, attach the cord to the retainers of the inner fender and plug the cord to the Hood Latch assembly. Finally, install back the Hood Latch and grille.
