Default Help..girl here;)

Hey guys..the Handle of the hood latch cable broke off..right at the handle!
Is there a easy fix for the handle ONLY?.. or do I have to replace the all cable?

I need specific instructions/pics or video if you can to help me fix this.
Thanks

Vise Grips on whats left.
You can buy a new hood release cable/handle for not much money.

Like fisEH said vise grips. I did that for a year. You will need to replace the whole cable.

I stand in front of the car, reach through the grill, grab the cable where it goes into the latch, and yank it to the right/driver side.

Open the hood, remove big amber turn signals, remove head lights, remove filler panel below headlights, remove grill, unhook cable from latch unhook under dash , follow cable undoing mount clips, pull cable into cabin

Reverse order

Lube the hell out of the hood latch
