Bumper off, fender off, and the rad support out... easy but time consuming

you don't need to take off your bumper...when my cable broke i was able to open the hood by reaching up with a long screwdriver from underneath. you move where the cable is supposed to be attached and it will pop open

the easy way out is to just use the release if that is all that is broken, dont use the new cable, just seperate the cable from the release and just use the actual release that bolts to the interior car.

thats the lazy way, but its a good idea to replace the cable as well since the old cable becomes weak and stretched.

to do this properly you need to remove the drivers side fender, as well as the front bumper etc as mentioned
