I suspect my right side hood latch lock-cable bowden is done. I got tension on the hood release from the interior (minor) but the latch on the hood itself is not releasing.

Ordered up all 3 cables and 2 new locks just as part of due course....
Just removed the DS grill to start the eyeball as I await parts. Is there any way to get to that bowden cable just short of cutting the right side airduct
