My front driver's side tire blew and it broke the hood release cable on my Honda Civic LX. I took it in to the shop and they tried to rig it but the cable broke completely off. I need help opening the hood so I can replace the alternator and then take it to a shop to get the cable replaced. I heard something about jacking up the car and reaching underneath to try to pop the latch but I'm not quite sure how to do so. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.
