Hood release cable broken.....

New here, ran a search came up with nothing.

Mother-in-law's 1998 Blazer the hood release cable is broken or became disconnected at the hood latch.

How do I get the hood up to repair that sucker?

Just pull off the splashguards?

Thanks,
Guy

Thanks, Dustin.

I think if I take a welding rod and bend it just right I can hook the release and give it a pull.
