Get somebody to push down on it while you pull the cable.
Oooh I'll have to try that, thanks for the quick replys I was hoping it would be nice and easy.
with the hood open you can now fix the inop pull wire or sticky latch.
Disconnect pull wire from latch. Detach white plastic sleeve from latch and locating tabs.
Lift sleeve skyward and flood tube with your favorite snake oil.
When the PB Blaster has stained your carpet the cable is ready to move.
Slide tube off wire by pulling away from fixed metal guide tube in cowl area.
Remove rust from pull wire with sand paper or whatever. Lubricate liberally as you slide the tube back over the wire.
Check operation of latch by closing with the tip of a phillips screwdriver and releasing with a plier. If sticky douse with WD40 till the spare tire floats.
When wire and latch are free, reassemble and adjust. WALLA !
