    Default Bowden Cable - Interior Door handle

    I have found many great instructs online about taking the door panel off, however I have not seen anything on replacing the Bowden cable, the one that connects the interior door handle. I trace the cable inside the door, but I am unable to unlodge the hook inside the door.
    Any help with this would be GREAT!

    umm...why do you want to unhook the cable? I'm assuming you mean to the outer door latch?

    It's really simple. I pulled my DS door panel off earlier today to do some work in there and clean things up...it's a C hook, and it just slips off. No biggie.

    Actually it was the hook on the other end. The hook on the cable broke by the inner handle. I bought a new cable, and it was a chore taking the whole locking mech and window guide out to hook the new cable onto the lock mech. Just takes a lot of patience, and luck.
    Thanks.
