Review on Red Billet Aluminum Hood Latch Release Handle Cable Repair Kit for CRV 1997-2006, Element 2003-2011, Ridgeline 2006-2014, Civic 1996-2011 by Trevor Garrett

Great alternative to buying a whole cable! It took me a little over 15 minutes to install. On the Civic 98, remove the kick bar (it's only held by 2 clips). Use a 10mm socket to remove the bracket. You need to remove the piece of plastic barrel from the old pen that broke. For this I decided to use a small copper pipe cutter. You can use whatever is at hand. Take off the old part and put on the new one. Tighten the locking screw and reassemble everything. Easy! A word of caution, some people say they stripped the set screw. Be careful with this! I have a habit of tightening things up and undressing them. I just pinned him. In the event that it came loose, I simply tossed a small Allen wrench (supplied with the handle) into the console's storage compartment. If it loosens, I just tighten it again.
