if the cable is not snapped it should have opened with malgrips, but make sure the outer sheath (cable housing) is somehow retained back when you pull on the inner steel cable. other than that you have tried accesssing the linkage through the front grill should release it if you know exactly where you are going to manipulate the linkages, best bet is to have a look at another like car to work out.
