My hood release handle on the inside doesn't work as the hood release cable has been stretched. Does anyone know what route the cable travels so I can replace the hood release cable? Also does anyone know how I can open the hood in my situation? I've tried pulling on the wire from the inside with pliers and that scored 0 results.

Cable location:



Steps from the manual to replace it (gotta open the hood first)
1. REMOVE COOL AIR INTAKE DUCT SEAL
2. REMOVE ENGINE ROOM SIDE COVER
3. REMOVE FRONT UPPER FENDER PROTECTOR
4. REMOVE FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY
5. REMOVE MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY (w/ Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System)
6. REMOVE LOW PITCHED HORN ASSEMBLY
7. REMOVE HOOD LOCK CONTROL CABLE COVER
8. REMOVE HOOD LOCK ASSEMBLY
9. REMOVE HOOD LOCK CONTROL LEVER SUB-ASSEMBLY (for LHD)
10. REMOVE HOOD LOCK CONTROL CABLE ASSEMBLY (for LHD)

 

Thank you. I'll see if I can open my hood with the help of another person. Is there any chance you have more pictures from the manual I could reference for this repair?
