• Q: How to replace the Release Hood Cable on 2004 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: A person must start by opening the hood before blocking the Hood Latch to stop it from locking while installing the new cable. Open the hood then detach the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch by compressing both sides of the Hood Cable retainer. After that remove the cable from its bracket on the Hood Latch. Every replacement of the air cleaner requires correct procedures depending on using the 3.4 l or 3.8 l engine. To begin repairing or replacing the cable start by cutting loose its retainers from the Hood Cable handle and then from the engine compartment side rail and upper tie bar. The revealed cable must be accessible through carpet removal until the wiring or string stays within the passenger side. Secure one end of the wire or string to the end of the Hood Cable so that it functions as a convenient tool during the new cable replacement process. A flat-bladed small tool can remove the grommet from the dashboard while you pull out the Hood Cable from its position in the dashboard. Proceed to remove the Hood Cable from the vehicle after trimming the wire or string from its length. Installing the new Hood Cable entails stringing the wire or string to the cable before placing it inside the vehicle until the grommet reaches its designated hole. After placing the grommet into its dash location, secures the retained Hood Cable to both engine rail and upper tie bar placement. After installing the new Hood Latch and air cleaner you can position the cable to the Hood Cable handle. Reposition the carpet while removing the block from the Hood Latch and check the Hood Cable operation before ending the hood closure. Finally, close the hood.
