Okay. I just finished my 36 hour water pump replacement. I did loosen the radiator and removed some hardware on top of the radiator where the hood release wire is and so forth. I think you can guess what happened. I put everything back together and the hood release will not work. There is no tension when I pull the handle inside the car. I can pull out the tab about half an inch and then it get extremely tight. How can I open my hood?

thanks,

John
