I decided to replace my front trunk cable since I need to us 100+ pounds of force to open it. I found some very small diameter braided wire to replace it. The latch side is very straight forward, but the handle end looks odd.
How does the cable attach to the handle? The only thing I see is a flathead screw and before I took that out, I thought I would ask first. Also, is there a preferred end to start in fishing it back? It appears that the handle is permanently attached to the body. Attached thumbnail(s)

The whole handle assembly can be removed from the car by removing a bolt from inside the trunk that threads through the firewall into the handle's bracket. I remember it was an Allen-head screw in mine. I also remember that the big flat-head screw was a small set-screw on mine, so perhaps yours has already been replaced?
