  A: The first step for removing the Hood Lock Control Cable Assembly requires wheel removal followed by disassembly of the LH front wheel opening extension pad through screw removal. Once the front side mudguard falls away the technician must pull out two screws and grommets to finish the removal. Proceed to the front fender liner LH by rotating 90 degrees with a screwdriver the pin hold clip then take off eight clips followed by four screws and finally remove three grommets. You need to purchase a fresh grommet because the existing one will break during the process of removal. The next step involves removing the radiator cover through the process of unscrewing its 5 clips. The water hose clamp bracket needs removal when both bolts are unscrewed. Before continuing proceed to remove the hood lock assembly which requires detachment of the hood cable followed by unscrewing its three bolts. Detach the hood cable for a second time after which you should remove the hood lock control lever. The removal process finishes with a screwdriver that has tape coverage on its tip to disconnect clamps before pulling the cable out of the engine compartment.
