To remove the latch, scribe a line around it for alignment purposes. Then, remove the retaining bolts that secure the hood latch to the radiator support. To remove the cable, detach it from the latch assembly and unclip all remaining cable retaining clips. In some models, removing the inner fender splash panel may be necessary to access and detach the cable from the clips. Pull the cable and grommet rearward into the passenger compartment until the wire or string is visible. Attach the wire or string to the new cable, ensuring that the new cable has a grommet attached. Pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable reaches the latch assembly. Reinstall the new cable into the hood release lever in the passenger compartment, using pliers if necessary to crimp the retaining clip. The remaining installation steps are the reverse of the removal process.

To remove the hood release cable, start by detaching the clips and removing the plastic air deflector cover. Remove the radiator grille and detach the cable. Remove the latch assembly by taking out the mounting bolts. Attach a piece of string or thin wire to the end of the cable and unclip all cable retaining clips. To reinstall, insert the came into the engine compartment, connect the cable, and fasten it.
