I need to replace the wire cable and its sheath that operates the front trunk hood. Is there an "easy" way to do this? Any pitfalls? Better yet, is there a DIY writeup out there. I used the Search feature but nothing turned up.

I just did mine also. Bought it all from Pelican. Didn't know that Mr. Rubber carried it for less. The handle was harder than hell to pull until i took it apart again and sprayed the inside of the sheath with silicon grease. Works like a charm now. I also had no issues with the dam thing, except I tried replacing the mechanism with an early mechanism that did not have the return spring. I thought it might be easier to pull the handle with the single spring unit. When i pulled the handle it would not go back on its own and the hood would not shut until i pushed the handle back in. I switched the mechanism back to the dual spring one and now it works like a charm. The whole problem in the first place was that it just needed some lube.
