  Q: How to remove and refit of the Hood Release Cable on Mercedes-Benz 190E?

  A:

  In order to disassemble the part, release the locking stud on the front panel adjacent to the support strut and remove the cover underneath the lock. In cars which have air conditioning, screw the two screws and position the fan and undo the four clips that are at the top, and push the radiator back to give easy access. The next step is to un-hook the hood release cable at the support bracket and lock lever. Interior Take out the cover of the facia on the left-hand side and screw, and release handle undone and cable disconnected. Pull the rubber grommet at the cable exit point on the bulkhead, and then tie a string to the hood release cable such that it will drag the string through as one draws it out. Draw the cable forward and see the drawstring and when it comes in sight undo it and pull the cable out of the car. When refitting, take the opposite steps of the removal one, and use the string to help the new cable through the bulkhead into the car.
