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.

Good afternoon,

On my car the "T" handle threads in to the cable. The cable housing is NLA I believe but someone here replaced the whole assy with a motorcycle cable assy.
