Hood lever won't pop the Hood! How do I pop the hood form the outside?
Hood lever won't pop the Hood! How do I pop the hood form the outside?
I went to pull my hood release lever to check my fluids and the hood won't pop open.
I had my radiator replaced not too long ago and they might have messed up my hood cable...or I just need to lube the latch.
..either way,
How do I pop the hood latch open? Coat hanger? Large screwdriver? Where do I put it?

Alright finally got the hood open! I saw the thread to unscrew the latch. I unscrewed the 2 screws of the latch using a 10mm wrench halfway, joggle the hood a little and hit the release lever on the hood.
The mechanism was getting stuck. Guess it's this pollen season that dried up the latch.
Just got to tighten my cable a little and put some WD40 to oil down my latch mechanism.
Thanks yall!
