Unscrew the lock out of the crossmember, snap out of the lock lever the outer cable, and off of the lock body the inner cable. Tracing up the cable, watching it being laid in the proper direction, and untying the cable, taking a piece of string and attaching it to the end of the cable. Interior- Grab the screws holding the hood release handle loosened and removed, release the cable grommet on the firewall and pull out the lever and cable assembly. After removing the cable, untie the string and leave it in its place in the vehicle to be used again. To install, attach the inner end of the string to the end of the new cable and pull the hood release cable through into the engine compartment it will then be untied.
