so the releases for the engine bay and the hood are a little, no really, tough to pull. in particular the hood release. is there an easy way to grease up those cables and holes or do you need to actually pull the cables or replace them. the cables look good everywhere i can see them. just feel kinda stuck.

Save yourself some grief......Toss the OEM "wire" to the hood and replace with a motorcycle outer and inner cable. After buying new OEM stuff and trying for hours to get it to open easily I switched to the motorcycle cable and I can open it with one finger now. You can buy bulk at most MC dealers. You could even use bicycle cables.
