How to Replace the Hood Cable for Release Cable on Chevrolet Malibu?

Opening the hood leads to the upper fascia support removal. Mark the latch position against the body frame while removing its bolts to disconnect the hood cable from the hood latch by squeezing the retainer on the hood cable. Begin by taking out the side trim panel retainers and continuing with the removal of the hush panel from the instrument panel followed by removing the knee bolster from the instrument panel. Secure the hood cable handle bolts before finalizing the end of the wire or string which should stay inside the passenger compartment. A wire connected to the hood cable will make installation easier by attaching to the cable end. A small flat-bladed tool helps disassemble the grommet which will pass from the engine area to the passenger area before removing the hood cable from its position within the instrument panel and stripping out the wire or string in that same area. The wire or string should be tied to the new hood cable before feeding it through the instrument panel opening. The small flat-bladed tool should push the grommet into complete position before you remove the wire or string. Mount the hood cable ball to the latch structure followed by tightening the hood latch fasteners to 10 N.m (89 lb in). The final step involves reinstallation of the upper fascia support followed by the knee bolster and hood cable handle together with side trim panel and hush panel appearance.
