WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Disconnect the hood lock cable from the hood lock, and un-clip it from the radiator core upper support and hoodledge.
Remove the mounting screws, and remove the hood opener.
Remove the grommet on the instrument panel, and pull the hood lock cable toward the passenger compartment.
