Need a "How-to" for replacing Hood Latch Current hood latch is damaged, as well as hood from an accident. I have a brand new OEM hood latch to install once I swap the hood out. I want to note that the cable is NOT broken. Just need to know what's all involved in changing this thing. I did search but got nothing really for what I was looking for.

Probably way easier if you do, at minimum you'll need to remove the clips at the top where the grille is.

Inspect that hood latch cable closely for straightness and no crush marks.
If it fails on you, it’s quite a operation to snake a “suitable tool” to activate the latch.
