Kudos for your video! I’ve never needed this fix, but the probability exists! Also, @1:45 😂😆 you had me rolling on the floor! “It takes two hands to do this, and with your other hand, lift up the hood” 😆👌 A third hand can be very useful at times!!

Nice I had heard about that access hole. My mom rear ended a pickup in her ‘72 and cratered the front, and it won’t open at all. I’ll have to give this a try, thank ya!
