No problem man, mine broke too (handle came off completely). To open it i gota use some pliers to pull on the cable.
As far as replacing it i cant really say...looks pretty straight forward however

The cable probably runs through the left fender well and removal of the inner fender is probably necessary. Shouldn't be too hard.

I went through the Ford shop manual last night pretty carefully and can't find any procedure for replacing the cable. You will have to take a look at it and figure it out for yourself.

had a guy do the same on my Jeep when I was trying to sell it to get the Mustang. Wanted to see the engine and pulled so hard it busted the handle right off...
Seems like a good time for hood pins, lol
