• Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on 2008 Cadillac XLR?

  A: Begin repair of the hood primary latch release cable by opening the hood and taking out the front section of the air cleaner assembly. Begin by removing all related panels and components then disconnect the Hood Cable from the Hood Latch. You must open the retaining clips of the Hood Cable while you remove vehicle-mounting screws which secure the hood release handle in position. The Hood Cable grommet needs removal from the dash panel's front opening and the Hood Cable needs to be extracted from the vehicle body. New Hood Cable installation requires its placement in the vehicle followed by Hood Cable grommet placement on the dashboard panel's front. Follow the fastener notice while performing this step. Secure the hood release handle to the vehicle using screws that should achieve a torque setting of 2 n.m (18 lb in). Connect the Hood Cable through the clips to its destination at the Hood Latch. Install all related panels followed by components while reattaching the air cleaner front piece before completing the hood assembly.
