    How difficult or easy it is to change the front hood release cable in
    honda accord LX 1995?

    Thanks,

    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.
