Know How To Open Hood!?

I have a 2001 C240. I don’t have money to pay someone a lot for this. I think it’s simple, but maybe one of you guys know what I can do. My hood release handle inside car broke and I can’t open the hood simply by pulling a cable, even with pliers because it just doesn’t pull, it just brings the whole thing further out and afraid to break this. Can you tell me how I can open this hood??

Same reply to your other identical post - grab hold of the cable hanging down with pliers, and slowly and firmly pull.

It worked! I figured it out. Hold up the sheath with release handle as I pull.

Might as well replace the handle for a few bucks. They're not terribly expensive.
