Exclamation Hood Cable Sc300

Yeah.. My hood cable lever from under the steering wheel stopped working. Im going to the yard today to try to get another one, but last time i opened it was from under my front bumper. Had no room so i had to jack it up and pull the cord manually.. but anyone have any information on this? How do I replace the cable wire that connect to under the steering wheel to the hood that opens it, please help.. I really appreciate it, thanks!

When I was relocating my wire harnesses on the driverside fender I saw the hood cable run through there pretty close to the airbag cable. You could take a look, it should look like a black/gray regular cable that doesn't look like a wire. Hope this helps :P
