Re: Opening Hood

No springs-all arm power. On the side you want to open, the lever pushes forward to release latches and hood opens from either side. Once latch released, lift it up an inch or so and there is a safety catch about two feet from the cowl edge that you can reach and push in to clear hood when it is lifted. The holding bar will usually be in a clip on whichever side was last opened and will fit in a slot in the cowl end brace. Pushing both levers forward and having a person on each side, the entire hood can lift off.
