Has anyone replaced a hood-release cable before? I finally decided to just replace mines... but the shop manuals on RX-7 club don't have any guides. Does anyone have any tips/procedures on how to do it?

It should be pretty straight forward but you will need to take off the drivers side fender. It basically unbolts at both ends then you need to snake it out.
