Mine was really hard to pull. I disconnected the cable then removed, cleaned and oiled the latch mechanism. Then I pulled the cable and housing out of its normal place, freeing it back to the strut tower. After I tied the end up as high as I could to the ceiling of the garage, I dripped jack oil (for hydaulic jacks) down the cable about twenty times over the next 24 hours. It has worked fine since then which was about four months ago. Good luck.
