rllywgn Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 so the today i was looking under the hood tightening stuff and what not, then i finished, closed the hood and heard the socket tumble (that sound when you leave tools under the hood). so i went to pop the hood and snap.. here comes the hood cable.. dang.. so any tips? i believe it broke near the clasp itself. thanks in advance rllywgn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemery10 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 had that prob once, I got it open by taking the grill off and fishing the end of cable out and tying a loop as a temporary fix, shocking timing I had blown a head and was topping radiator fluid all the time 2000k's from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 gemery10 has the right idea; then head for Pull a Part and get replacement cable (get a 2nd for a spare); they aren't too difficult to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooziewhatsit Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31328&highlight=hood+release+cable the biggest problem is that you can't easily get the grill off without breaking something... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'd try releasing the hood release with a screwdriver first; if that doesn't work for you, I guess you can try removing the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
