how too- release hood when you forget to hook back up the cable.

I did this today while removing the ac condenser...

Go under the front bumper,and lay on your back. Look up spot hood release mechanism you should see the hook for the cable right in front of you. Reach up and pull left on the hook while pushing up on the hood with your other arm.
It's easy...Dont try to pry hood open or release it with a screwdriver it wont open and you will bend your lip.

Too help other people who do careless things, and for n00b's who will cry when they can't get their hood open. Yay!
