front emergency boot release (EBR (not)) 987

[Guvs]

Has anyone tried it ? the reason I ask is I had the bumper off yesterday and decided to reroute the EBR to a more convenient location, well let me tell you now don't think for one minute that you will be able to gain access to the boot using it, the design of the cable and how it attaches to the mechanism is non workable, (photos to follow when im on nights more time then) I got a pair of mole grips on the EBR and tried to pull even with the wheel off note!! the wheel locking nut will be in the boot so you wouldn't have the luxury of having such good access to the EBR cable, but having good access and being able to give it a good pull in the correct direction/angle it would not open, there is a fix/mod that I have done, will post with the photos.
I'm just wondering has anyone been in a situation with a 987 and had to try the EBR ?
