Adjusting Hood Pull

this morning, i re-readjusted my hood pull, as it had worked its way "slack" again..........

and i adjusted it IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.......

now i gotta redo it, when its not so hot out, later...............

damm.........

btw, i do it from underneath, pulling the plastic crap aside........

i dont know for sure, but im suspecting i can remove the small numbers plate with the two screws by the hood latch, to get at it from the top.....but i havent tried yet........anyone else do this?

RE: Adjusting Hood Pull

ok, well, i destroyed it all now.......

DAMMIT!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

my under dash covers are gone, ripped out.........

the pull lever for the hood opener is broken off...........

all that remains is the cable...........which u gotta pull REALLY hard to open the hood.........

which is necessary every time, because of my busted vacuum pump......

which was about to be replaced with a new one, from GermanStar..........

so, Ich werde jetz Standesrechtlich erschossen............

(i will now be "given" the right to stand and be shot)



well, i guess i gotta order a new hood pull lever assembly.........at least the cable is still ok........
