Can you get a pair of vice grips on the cable from the inside and give it a good yank?

That's the only way I can think of. It's incredibly easy on a d90 you can just use your fingers, but i haven't a clue on a D2

Yeah, I removed the right headlight and pulled with some pliers, and it appears that the issue is in the hood release mechanism its self! I will probably have to start using some harsher methods!:banghead:
