so i was checking my power steering fluid, shut the hood and realized it wouldn't go down all the way. to make things worse my hood lath lever broke off and now i can't pull the hood to see if the release is just stuck. is there a way to manually release the latch so the hood will go down all the way.

i had my gf push the hood down and i tried pulling the latch inside but still wouldn't work....

is there a way i can pull the cable from the engine bay towards the inside release or away?
