Pull out the latch cables from the clips, pull the lever with hand to release the end of primary cable from the slot, press the tabs, and insert the cable housing through the hole to take out the latch assembly. For installation reverse the process of removal, fix the latch in the correct position by the help of lines marked before.

To discharge the primary cable and interior release handle, remove and re-locate coolant expansion tank without removing the cooling hoses, then separate the primary release latch from the clips and pulled out the mounting bolts. Insert the hood release cable grommet in the firewall, insert a flat screwdriver under the tab of the release handle then pull it off the knee bolster panel, then unlock the interior handle and link it with the other end of the cable. For easy pulling of the old cable through the firewall, it is advisable to attach a piece of string or small wire on the cable. Installation is the reverse of the removal process For instance, if the string or wires where used to pull the cable through the firewall then use the same to pull the new cable through the same wall.

Chevrolet Malibu Hood Cable

The Chevrolet Malibu Hood Cable enables reliable opening of the hood for inspection or service purposes. The Hood Cable runs from the cabin release handle to the latch assembly and converts a simple pull in the cockpit into a trip force that unlocks the external lock so the hood can lift slightly, followed by a hand operation to fully open. The current models of Malibu make use of a single primary Hood Cable that goes from the lever to a junction close to the latch. Then, secondary cables branch to that latch point and onto both latches, which will not release until the other is free. This is a design situation that is both convenient in one sense and safe in another. With regard to safety, this design ensures that both latches must disengage before the hood can raise up. The first designs operated on the same principle but sometimes had a thicker sheath, while the later designs had a light corrosion-resistant sheath that prevented cracking that allows moisture to get inside. No matter the style, when the Hood Cable stretches, frays, or snaps, the latch stays closed and the hood remains sealed. As a result, access to spark plugs, belts, and fluids is blocked. Therefore, inspection prevents surprises. To maintain the Chevrolet nameplate's front end service friendliness, it is necessary to replace a worn-out Hood Cable in a timely manner so Malibu owners can easily access inconvenient yet vital components, ensuring each Chevrolet Malibu is dependable on the road.

Each OEM Chevrolet Malibu Hood Cable we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
