I had to do this as well. Mine broke somewhere in the middle. I was able to pry the hood up enough to get to the cable, cut it, and then used vice grips to pull the cable. I reused the sleeve when I replaced the cable. It worked find and really couldn't tell where I had cut it unless you were really looking for it.
