I went to open the hood and the hood release cable broke. Any tricks to
opening the hood now?

Yes, there is a very simple way to get the hood open. Remove the high beam
light, reach in and pull the lever the cable goes through. The hood will
then open. I have to do this on mine, so I just left the light out for now,
until I get around to fixing the cable.
