Default Re: Hood lever won't pop the Hood! How do I pop the hood form the outside?

How do I pop the hood latch open? Coat hanger? Large screwdriver? Where do I put it?
There is a post here somewhere that explains how to use a wrench to unscrew the bolts that hold the latch down to thread support. The wrench goes through the grill, it takes a while but can be done.
