ENG: Opening your hood

[N9netwoAccord]

And we wonder why people don't take our forum seriously sometimes.

this is great...7 years of owning cbs and never knew how to do this!! But more importantly, in the video, you opened the car door...? How was this done? I haven't quite figured that out yet and it seems to be a very important step in getting the hood open. I got the door unlocked but it's not open... a door open DIY would be a great addition to the DIY section.

I pulled the thing to open the hood but y hood no open?

I think that's going a little far, but I guess

Try pulling harder. Or, make sure you pull the latch under the hood.

Now make a DIY on how to open the door. I'm having a hard time finding out how to open it. I already looked at the factory manual.

Second request means I have to do it. Expect it tomorrow after school.

3rd request. How about a DIY on how to replace the hood latch return spring, or how to clean the cable and hood locking assembly. That way you won't have to reset the hood lock/latch by hand every time you open your hood.

Is that what my problem is? That thing is annoying and I've never figured out how to fix it.
I'll give it a shot, but I don't have the computing power to edit full 1080p, so it will have to be shot in one go. Any advice?

speaking of doors, my driver door wasnt opening for a couple days this week...hopefully wd40 in the keyhole will help...anyone else have a broken seal under their hood as well, right near the latch?

Don't use WD-40. I was gonna make a video for this too.
Get white lithium grease, stick the tube in the key hole, and spray till it comes out. The next day your lock will open like new.

[GhostAccord]

Probably better to spray in some sort of grease cleaner first. I use throttle body cleaner becuase it evaporates fairly quickly. After a few minutes spray in your lithium. This way your not just adding clean grease on top of dirty old grease. It will just keep getting worse as time goes on if you don't clean it.

lol wow, that's a brilliant video. In all seriousness, my hood latches fine every time i close it. Never had your problem.

Tippey needs to see this.. I don't think he ever found his hood popping mechanism.

What's a.....muffler bearing...?
