otherwise you gotta pry up on the hood but that will break your front, so u would have to cut the hood open thats how i got mine open after a crash

Do this. Crawl under your jeep with a flashlight and look up in between the radiator and the engine and you will see the center swivel for the hood rods.Reach up and grab ahold of it and twist it and your hood will pop right open. |

I am beginning to think that might be a good plan at this rate....I did figure out how to re-attach the cable but it was a major pain in the rear end...Opening the hood was quite a chore as well..had to get the proper angle and such to leverage the latch mechanism..all in all a major pain but much easier then tearing the front end apart...
