you have to pull the catch first so the bonnet pops up,then the lever.2 people would be better,use big plyers or a screw driver,should work..jim

its a easy fix if you know what to look for, basicly all you need to do is get a flat thin peice of steel and put it through the gap between the grill and the bonnet and push the latch accross, the perfect tool is a door handle removing tool, but any thin flat peice of steel would do

A 12" steel rule is good too, round end in the palm of your hand. Put a bit of downwards pressure on the bonnet when you slide the latch open with the rule.
