On 2008 and later models, remove the front bumper cover. Scribe a line around the latch to aid alignment when installing. Detach the latch retaining bolts from the radiator support and remove the latch. Note the routing of the hood release cable, then disengage the cable from the latch assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal. Disconnect the hood release cable from the latch assembly as described above. Attach a piece of stiff wire to the end of the cable. Trace the cable back to the firewall and detach all cable retaining clips. On earlier models, remove the knee bolster. Remove the hood release lever retaining screws. Disengage the cable from the hood release lever. Pull the old cable into the passenger compartment until you can see the stiff wire that you attached to the cable. A grommet insulates the cable hole in the firewall from the elements. The new cable should have a new grommet, so you can remove and discard the old cable grommet. Make sure the new grommet is already on the new cable, then detach the old cable from the wire and attach the new cable to the wire. Working from the engine compartment side of the firewall, pull the wire through the cable hole in the firewall. Installation is otherwise the reverse of the removal. Working in the passenger compartment, push the grommet into place with your fingers. Make sure it's fully seated in the hole in the firewall.
