Never owned a 2.2 so may have some more room over a V6 if you can get to the latch from under the Car, if not then through the Grill on a FL as explained in the guide.

Smashy smashy time on the grill..... cheap enough and easy enough to replace.

Once black plastic is smashed out, need to reach in and release it manually, can be a tad difficult!

Then once open can work on it and replace the cable  :)
