  Q: How to replace the Hood Cable on GMC Envoy?

  A:

  The cable replacement process starts with grille and Hood Latch removal before freeing the cable from its Hood Latch assembly home. Before installation label where mechanic's wire will pass through then add it to the outside cable end. Push the cable grommet through the cowl panel until it reaches the vehicle interior space after letting go of the retainers which hold the cable to the inner fender and radiator support. After removing the knee bolster hood release handle bolts you should detach the cable from the handle. Remove the mechanic's wire while it remains positioned for future cable installation and pull the cable through the cowl panel and out behind the sound insulation. Pull the cable out of the vehicle's structure. Before installation attach the mechanic's wire to the new cable end and use this guide to feed the cable beneath sound insulation before passing the exterior section through the cowl panel opening. Install the cable to the release handle while positioning the cable grommet to the cowl panel before putting back the release handle onto the knee bolster. Secure the bolts which hold the release handle in place to the knee bolster by tightening them to 1 n.m (9 lb in). Follow cable routing guidelines then secure the cable at inner fender retainers before connecting it to the Hood Latch assembly and reattaching the Hood Latch and finishing with grille installation.
