Argh! How do get my hood open?

[David]

As some of you know, while at Carlisle, my hood cable gave way. It appeared to have broken on  the inside the cabin end. So we pulled the sheaving off if and thought we could just use a pair of plyers to pull it to release the hood. Well...I tried to open the hood today, and it won't release all the way. The center and passenger side will release, but not the drivers side. The cable is intact, but it seems like it is just no longer connected to the release mechanism on the drivers side. So, now what do I do? How do I get the hood open to replace the cable? HELP!!!
