honda accord LX 1995?

Usually easy, but fiddly. You need to push the clips out of their holes to
remove the cable. Remove plastic inner fender liner to access the part of
the cable that runs through there.

A tip: Tie a string to the end of the old cable before you pull it through
the rad support into the fender well. Undo it and tie it to the end of the
new one. This will make it easier to pull the new cable back through the
rad support to the latch.

What happened? Did it pull through at the release handle, or did it break
in the middle somewhere?

Thanks for the string tip. I believe I will try it. I don't know how the
original poster's broke, but on mine the handle snapped right off. Then I
super-glued it, and tried to forget about it. That only worked for three
years.

Thanks,
