[Tigers] Stuck Hood Release

[Larry Paulick]

Hi Group.  I have a MKI and the nut on the bent rod on the hood release 
that attaches to the lever to release the hood latch must have come 
loose.  Therefore I can not open the hood.

I went to the Tigers United site, and tried the coat hanger through the 
firewall/heater plenum area, and could not hook the lever to release the 
latch.

I took the 8 bolts out of the front hinges for the hood, and do not have 
room to get to the latch to release the latch as well.

So, any solutions or tricks would be most welcome.

Thanks

Larry
