now you have removed the grill there is a plate covering where the cable goes through you need to lie under the frunt of the car with a long nose pair of plyers and you will be able to grab the cable ,,but if the cable is broke get a screw driver and where the plate is there is a few holes and u need to get the screw driver in one of them and push the bonnet bracket over to release it.
i hope this helps
