  Q: How do you remove and install the latch and cable assembly on Nissan Maxima?

  A: To release the latch, unlock the latch assembly with the bolts on it, slide the latch, and tighten the bolts again; in this way, close the hood and see that it fits to the frame of the car fenders, performing the steps repeatedly until the hood fits tight on the fenders. Disconnect the spring, and with the aid of wire cutter, remove the head of the cable by unscrewing it from the latch with a screwdriver or by use of needle-nose pliers or similar tool to release the hood latch cable from the rear part of the latch assembly. For the installation process, just use the procedure that is opposite to that mentioned for the removal process. One has to unscrew the cable from the back of the latch assembly using needle-nose pliers or a screwdriver then undo its fastening on the left inner fender. Inside the car, unbolt the hood-release cable and handle assembly from the instrument panel by unthreading the screws with three bolts that hold the interior hood latched handle. Bring/pull the cable through firewall grommet to the passenger area and put the other end of the new cable through the grommet in the engine area then pull it in. It is in this portion of the installation that the steps correspond to the reverse of those mentioned in the removal process.
