I need to open the hood of the 81 300SD and the inside hood pull is very broken. It was a little broken until just 10 minutes ago when I really finished breaking it. The wire that pulls the hood is now broken far up into the dash.
I was able to locate a small section of it at the front of the car under the hood and pull on it (of course taking the wire further away from the inside of the car) and open the left side of the hood. But the right side won't unhook no matter how hard I pull.
I need to get into the engine, so boys how do I do this now?

Thanks,
as always,
