To undo the hood latch one has to first unscrew the bolts attaching the hood latch to the radiator support, and then disconnect the latch assembly. This is followed by the removal of the hood release cable and detaching the latch from the radiator support and reinstallation of the same requires the performance of the above steps in reverse. For the cable, first, pull out the cable end and then slide the cable case end forward in the keyhole groove of the hood and pinch the barb on cable case so as to close it and then unlock the cable from the latch lever and take the cable from the latch. Inside the car pull out the hood release cable and its handle and then take off the rubber handle cover at the hole in the dash panel. Connect a string or wire at the engine side of the cable, disconnect it and pass it through the fire wall into the passenger compartment. Last, attach the string or wire you pulled back into the new cable and pull it back through the firewall to the compartment of the automobile engine completing the process by reversing the steps of removal.

First, take out the bolts securing the hood latch to the radiator support and detach the latch assembly.

The hinges and latch assemblies on the doors, hood, and trunk (or liftgate) should be lubricated once every 3,000 miles or every three months.

A few drops of light oil or lock lubricant should be used for the hinges and latch assemblies.

The door latch strikers should be lubricated with a thin coat of grease to minimize wear and ensure smooth operation.

Attach the string or wire to the new cable and pull it through the firewall into the engine compartment, completing the installation by reversing the removal steps.
