Les,
Here it is. You must get to the hinge bolts to the good thru the front valance
air inlet. You can reach up and feel the 4 bolt heads on each side. They stick
through a cut-out in the body panel. You may need a wobbly 1/4" drive extension
(not a universal joint, and a small, flex-handle 1/4 ratchet to give you room.
It's a few clicks at a time, for some bolts. Once they are all removed the hood
can be lifted up at the front. I don't know if your pull mechanism is broken,
or
mal-adjusted. If you have any connection to the hook, use it as you maneuver
the
hood off. This part is a two-man job, and possibly a small boy to pull the hood
release lever.
Let me know how this works.
