There is a small latch right under the hood...Just slip your fingers in, around the middle, and slide it.
Better explanation here.
Also, one thread is enough.

how, most of the screws are under the hood, so i'd have to open the hood (which won't open), but i don't want to break/replace the front |

I am assuming you have opened the hood before, does the cable feel the same when you pull it? Some times it helps if you push down on the hood when you pull the cable. How hard have you tried lifting the hood?
