Q: How do you remove the Hood Cable and Hood Latch?
A: Let the latch removal procedure start by scribing a line around the latch for alignment purposes during reinstallation. Once this is done, remove all the latch retaining bolts which are securing it to the radiator support and detach the hood release cable from behind the latch assembly. During installation, reverse only the removing process. Within moments of taking off detach it and after that detach also all its retaining clips in engine compartment for that matter. To free the cable, some clips may have to be cut. Use a piece of wire in attaching it to aid when installing its replacement. Removing driver's kick panel in passenger compartment will expose you to hood latch release cable and handle. This side hinge pillar will provide you with access to screws which when removed will enable one take off hood release cable and handle assembly from driver's left side hinge pillar. From there pull it through firewall grommet going into passenger compartment. The old cable should be disconnected from guide wire which is then fastened back on new one. Take up new cable attaching it onto wire then pulling through firewall until it gets down to reach latch assembly. After that let everything remain as they were while fixing firmly firewall into place so as not to alter its position when opening or closing doors there of again.
