E46 bonnet cable stuck!

Mods please move thread if needs be

The bonnet cable got jammed on my E46 saloon recently. I took the kidney grills out and pulled the second cable to pop the passenger side up and then took the drivers side latch off the bonnet to get it open. I still can't free the cable it won't move at all and I can't access where it goes on to the latch. Is there some way of getting in at it?

Try this first. Get a person to pull the cable while you push down and then pull up on the bonnet. Does the trick normally.

Or remove the drivers side indicator byforce and and fish the cable out and pull.

Tried that a lot. The cable does not move. I have the bonnet open, I need to get the latch off now to see the cable.
