Whenever releasing the latch and loosening the bolts, take a sharp pair of scissors or a felt tip pen to draw around the latch and also where the latch lays on the car to help in reinstalling the hood latch. Using a screwdriver pry the cable housing off the latch mechanism and pull the cable end away, and there are two socket head bolts that secure the latch mechanism to the radiator support. To install it, do all the things but in reverse order, be sure to properly place the cable's end into the clip and fit the scribe marks in the latches before properly fastening the head mounting bolts. To uninstall the cable you get a flat head screw driver and simply pry on the cable housing to let go of the latch then you unplug the end of it and the follow the cable to the grommet in the firewall and pry it out. Carefully tie a piece of string or wire that will fit the installation to the end of the cable. To liberate the handle on 1995 and earlier models, identify the handle locking tabs on the back of the driver side knee bolster, push the tabs and remove the handle assembly with a gradual pulling of the cable through the knee bolster and the firewall/inner fender without releasing the guide string or wire. On the 1996 and subsequent year models, the driver's side knee bolster and the left cowl side vent cover must be taken off and then there are two bolts that hold the cable handle to the body panel, the cable should be pulled through the firewall without disconnecting the guide string or wire. To install the cable, fix the guide string or wire to the end, thread the string or wire to the right position and fit the end to the latch mechanism; the grommet must be properly fitted into the firewall and sealant applied if required. For 1995 and pre-type models stand on the handle into knee bolster until it secures, for 1996 post-type models the handle assembly is attached to the body panel then the kick panel and lastly driver side knee bolster is refitted.
