How do you remove and reinstall a hood latch and cable on 2000-2011 Ford Ranger?

Open the hood and support it with a long piece of wood. Scribe or draw alignment marks around the hood latch to ensure proper alignment on reinstallation. Remove the bolts securing the hood latch and take it out, then detach the cable bushing and lift the cable eye off the anchor post. Note the routing of the cable within the engine compartment and remove any fasteners that secure it. Remove the screws that secure the hood release handle to the instrument panel and take off the tie wrap that secures the cable to the steering column bracket. In the passenger compartment, remove the cable grommet from the firewall and pull the cable through. For installation, insert the cable through the grommet in the firewall, ensuring it is properly seated, and before closing the hood, operate the control cable to confirm the latch control operates correctly.
