  Q: How to remove and install the Hood Latch and Hood Release Cable on Mitsubishi Galant?

  A:

  In order to take off the latch, one should open the hood and hold it up using the prop rod. Indicate the alignment around the hood latch assembly with a permanent marker or paint so as to make the installation of the item easy in future. Secondly, loosen the bolts or nuts to loosen the latch assembly to the radiator support and loosen the release cable by sliding the cable housing out of the keyhole slot. To install, simply reverse the disassembly procedure by matching the hood latch assembly with the marks that have already been made on the radiator support and by tightening the nuts, followed by a check on the operation of the hood latch and a recheck in case of need. To disassemble the cable, unscrew it on one end to the hood latch and the other end to the clips on the radiator support. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws of the release lever then push the lever up to access the screws. On the floor, detach the push-in retainer and cable grommet of the firewall. Fit a heavy piece of string or flexible wire to the end of the cable nearest the engine compartment, and pull through the firewall into the vehicle. Take off the string or wire of the old cable. To install you need to have the string or wire connected to the new cable and then pull it back through the firewall into the engine compartment and then you need to do the rest of the steps in the reverse order of installation.
