Some makes and models, you might be able to remove front grill and reach release mechanism. Depending on where the steel cable broke, you might be able to reach the steel cable, then use a pair of vice-grips on the cable itself and pull. Sometimes it helps when your pulling on cable to have a helper pop the hood with palm of the hand in area of release mechanism, to open. With it open, I usually lube the release mechanism. You can do what you think best about the cable. In the past, I have used a long piece of wire hanging down from release mechanism, I could reach the wire through the front grill to open the hood. Of course if you want to replace whole cable release assemble, that is fine, also.
