Hood latch

Hood latch
Is there another way to open the hood. Cable is broke at the latch

If you cant open the hood,how do you know the cable is broken at the latch,unless you saw this and shut the hood any way? On a 97 if you pull the grille insert(its different on a 98) one can get in there I believe with a LONG screwdriver! This is why one needs to lube this area constantly,dating back to when first GM utilized the cable release in what I believe were the late 60's Cads/Olds/ Buicks/Pontiacs-Make sure your your plastic interior release handle hasn't failed first,however! Common in the Blazers!

I know because I pulled the cable out through the cab, Also figured out if you unscrew the 2 13 mm bolts on the latch the whole unit comes off. 20.00 cable, a few choice words, bitch of a time feeding it back thruogh and all is good
