I used the 4 small air bags in my neighbors lock out kit. It has pretty much anything you need to open the average car. The bagsare small 6" square with one way valves.They are for wedging doors and windows open to get a slim jim in easier. I put them in between the hood and the cowl and lifted the hood enough to get a 36" long 1/2" drill bit on the latch and persuaded it with a hammer till it gave. If anyone ever has this problem these little bags worked great but wood wedges and some towels would also do it I guess but might scratch the cowl. I put the new Optima Red Top in. What a difference on the starting! everything is brighter then ever, Even when it was new and unabused!!

 

Does anyone still use this site???

 

Bumping the front of a engine hood on an H2 Hummer will do absolutely nothing considering that's not where the latch is right in front of the windshield hoods open backwards right

 

yes I look at it whenever I'm having an issue

 

going through the exact same issue right now and it is a real nightmare trying to get this hood open it just all of a sudden one day decided it wasn't going to work anymore good thing I had just changed my oil and filter and service everything close the engine Hood and it decided never to open again kind of a bummer because I would like to change my crank sensors

 

There is NEVER any reason to bump an OLD AZZED thread in the wrong section repeatedly. Please avoid that in the future. Just because you found some old thread you think relates to your current problem does not mean you need to dig it up. Read all you want, avoid necro-bumping.

Thank you.
