How hard/expensive is it to replace the hood release cable on an 02 SVTF?

well one option you can do is do what I did, and just take out the interior latch for the hood & cable and just install the european hood lock with key.... of course you have to chage your grille and cai cover. not to mention get the hood open to do this...

well if the cable is broken and you can see the cable it's just a matter of pulling on it with some vicegrips.
