Make a line around the latch for restoration purposes. After marking the spot, take out screws and bolts that hold the latch to the radiator support. Keep track of those bolts for accurate set up. Before removing the latch, you loosen its retaining bolts, adjust the position of the latch, and then retighten the bolts. Close and check the fit of the
Hood before taking out the latch. Change the hood release cable connection at the back of the latch piece, and put everything back as you take it out, checking that the latch keeps the hood tightly closed and hood padding touches when you close it. Following hood latch removal, disconnect the cable, take off the radiator
Grille and the left-light headlamp panel if needed. With a wire attached to the end of the engine compartment cable, pull the new cable toward you through the space. Remove the hood release handle from the instrument panel by cutting retaining clips, and pull the cable through by taking out the screws from underneath while detaching the grommet. Separate the wire from your old cable and join it to the stop of the freshly purchased cable, making sure the cable comes with a special tube item called a grommet. Run the new cable from the outside of the firewall to the engine bay, placing the grommet into the free port. Do the opposite of what you just did to put the new cable in place.
