How do you open hood when cable broke

Greetings everyone. I have a 95 transport with a broken front hood cable. Has anyone out there opened one up without the cable? Thanks!

I have not had this problem (yet), but I decided to put some ideas and pictures of my 2001 Venture up at the following link. Maybe they will help you out some.

Hood Latch Pictures

Hope this helps some.

Take Care,

Re: How do you open hood when cable broke

Did you ever solve this issue? If so, I'm interested in how you did it. I currently have a '93 with a disconnected hood cable right at the latch. I can feel the end of the cable with my finger but I don't have the leverage or room to open it with my fingers. Any advice? What can I take apart which will improve the access?

Re: How do you open hood when cable broke

Well, I did finally get it open last night using a straightened coat hangar. I didn't have to take anything apart but it certainly is a tricky job that can take some time. Hopefully I'll never be in that position again as I re-attached the cable and also rigged up a hidden back-up wire.
