As I remember, you can pop the latch by using a long screwdriver to push it sideways, or you can loop a piece of wire around it and pull it. I had to do this for quite awhile! To fix the cable, you'll need to get hold of some stiff wire (like piano wire). I had a machinist drill out the old cable from the handle and secure the new one with a set screw. Best, JM
