Something new as a result of of my "Clutch Pedal Stuck" thread.
While dissembling the interior, I removed the seats and the padded panel behind them.
I found that the trunk release pull handle does not unscrew. Figured I'd unhook it from the trunk latch. As you can probably guess, I closed the trunk that night after calling it a day and realized what I did the next morning. I got the trunk open but Im having a hard time visualizing the assembly of the lower latch. I see how the cable goes into the metal tube and up through the spring to the retaining pin, but what keeps the spring centered on the cable? Of course I've forgotten how it goes back together. Searched the forums (worst search program I've ever used") and found nothing. In fact, I think whatever I search for I get the same results!
Anyway, If anyone has or can take a picture of the assembly, under the black plastic cover, I'd appreciate it.

Unless he has one of the aftermarket cable release kits (now out of production) that were available from Mark Bland back in the day IIRC

Agreed, and I did point out that this would not be stock. If he has a rear reflector it wouldn't be unusual to have an electric latch release and/or a cable release. A picture of my stock latch probably won't be helpful. Pictures of his set up would help enormously in clarifying this, and letting anyone else who has the same set up help out.

@TonyVan I bet this thread has the pictures you need of the aftermarket cable release rear trunk latch.
