are you replacing the cable (inner) or the whole thing (sheeth and cable).

I would suggest changing the cable only. Use a dab of glue on the tip to prevent unravelling.

Default Hood Cable

I'm replacing the entire cable from the hood release inside the car to the latch in the engine compartment.

Replacing the outer is not an easy task. Sure you can't live with replacing the inner (wire only).

Can't suggest any thing else.
