Getting hood open

[abcus]

I just bought an 89 wagon. Is there a way I can get the hood open by myself? If I had help they could pound on it . The knob inside seems to pull normally.

Thanks,

abcus

Pull harder.

pry up one corner of the hood with a piece of softwood

(pine ect)

 

just enough to apply pressure.

 

pull cable.

 

If no luck try the other side.

I suspect the catch isn't staying uncatched after you pull the cable -- you need to pull the cable, and then try to lift the hood while holding the cabled pulled out. What I do sometimes when I encounter this is to put a set of vicegrips on the pull to keep it out, then go out and lift the hood.

Thanks for the help,

I used a piece of wood under the hood and it worked.
