Did it last year. The action was so stiff that 1arm of the plastic t handle broke while i tried open the hood.

Disconnecting the other end from the hood latch and suspending it to the open hood allowed me to relieve the tight curves and feed it good amounts of oil using gravity while actuating the cable so that it made its way in. Repeated a few times. Now works without effort.

Thanks for the reminder. I should do that again soon. (if it can stop snowing.: - )

What do folks recommend using for the oil to lube this cable? Mine is definitely not smooth.
