  Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on GMC Envoy?

  A: In order to replace the Hood Cable, start by taking out the left front door sill plate, then the left closeout/insulator panel and finally the grille. Second, remove the Hood Latch latch and pull down the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch assembly. Add a section of mechanic's wire to the outer end of the cable while remembering the arrangements for later usage, and loosen the retainers handy holding the cable and the inner fender. Feed the cable from between the headlamp housing panel and the Radiator, then push the cable grommet into the panels of the vehicle' interior. Remove the nut that hooks the hood release handle to the cowl trim panel on the left hand side, then remove the cable from the release handle and pull it through the panel cowl, to remove it at the back of sound insulation. Disconnect the mechanic's wire from the cable and leave it in place for an installation assist and remove the cable from the vehicle. For installation, the mechanic's wire should be connected to the external part of the new cable, and follow it on through the sound insulation, coming out through the cowl panel on the exterior part. Mount the cable to the release handle and seat the cable grommet to the cowl panel. Replace the release handle back into the left side kick panel and fasten it with the nut tight to 7 n.m (62 lb in). Mock the cable through the previous mentioned path between the head lamp housing panel to the core supports, secure it to the retainers on the inner fender, and attach it to the Hood Latch assembly. Lastly, replace the Hood Latch, grille, left closeout/insulator panel and left front door sill plate.
