anyone have tutorial and pictures on how to do hood relocation cable for a civic 96-00 EK? I know there is one for the Integra but the hood release tab inside the civic is different and i want to make sure and do it right

Phillips Head Screwdriver
12mm Socket & Ratchet (& Torque Wrench)
Flathead Screwdriver or Panel Popper
Pick

- Remove Bumper
- Remove Fender Liner
- Remove Lower Dashboard Cover
- Remove Kick Panel
- Detach Latch from the vehicle
- Detach Cable from Latch
- Undo Plastic Guide Clips for the Cable (5 of them, I think...) and remove them from the Cable (they split in half without breaking)
- Feed Cable back into the Cabin
- Poke a hole in a Firewall Grommet (take necessary precautions)
- Feed Cable back into Engine Bay through the hole you made... It might help to have a Wire Puller, or a piece of Coat Hanger to pull it into your EB.
- Route Cable away from Moving and/or High-temp parts (as best as you can), all the way back to the Latch area.
- Attach Cable to Latch
- Attach Latch to vehicle
- TEST YOUR ****!!!!!
- After confirming everything works the way you want it to, reinstall the Kick Panel, Lower Dashboard Cover, Fender Lining, and Bumper.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Anyone try this for an EK?

from this picture it looks like the cable needs to be disconnected from the latch, unlike the integra write up.

Thanks JasonGhostz for the instructions. The operation went smoothly and now I'll feel a little bit safer on the odd occasion that I park on the street.
