With a bit of luck you may be able to reach the cable from the left side
front wheel opening. Or use a really long screw driver and push the
lever in the center of the bonnet to pop it. Once you get it open, put a
temporary pull wire from the lever on the catch to the left wheel well.
This is so you can open it for the time being. To replace that cable you
either have to be real small with tiny fingers or you have to pull the
engine and trans.
Of course you can just leave that temporary wire under the wheel well
like I did.
