Has anyone ever replaced a hood release cable?

Has anyone ever replaced a hood release cable?
A long time ago the body shop I left my car at broke the handle off (long story).
I managed to find a Camaro at the yard with the mechanism intact, and removing it was one of the biggest pains in the *** ever. What gave me trouble is the rubber grommet that plugs into the firewall, I ended up hacking on it with a box cutter and pulling on it as hard as I could until it finally snaked through.
Now I have to remove my broken one, and install that one
Any easier way to go about this, or maybe I'm missing something? Really not looking forward to it
Thanks

Maybe someone will be able to chime in before I get to it, I already had enough fun replacing the outer window sweeps off of that same Camaro today lol.
