Default hood release cable

I've searched!

So my damn hood release cable came off from under the hood. I tried to pop my hood open by jacking the car up and trying to reach up from underneath the car. It is freaking impossible! How and where are you supposed to reach up and from where are you suppose to pop it open from? The only thing I can feel are my damn ac/heater hoses. Beyond that, it is freaking impossible because of the headers and freaking fans are in the way.

reach your hand into the bumper grill on the top level of it...to the right side of the license plates hole. reach up and grab the cable and pull it down. you really gotta curl your hand to get it

You need to try reading that again.

His hood cable has come detached from the latch assembly under the hood. Pulling the cable will do absolutely nothing.
