Just did it this weekend on my 93 Civic.

Jack up car (use stands!) and remove LF wheel.

Remove front bumper and LF inner fender liner. Unhook the cable from the
outside latch, then unbolt the the inside pull. The rest is pretty simple.
It took me about 30 minutes, but my front bumper was already off from a
wreck.

A dealership mechanic should be able to get it done in about 1-1.2 hours.

is broken. The cable is fine though. I have to pull the broken lever with a
plier or tongs to get the hood open. The dealer is aksing 2 hrs of labor to
replace it. The part is under $20. Can anybody please let me know whether it
is possible to do it by self? If so how to get it done?
