I installed a new radiator in my van yesterday, got everything up to par and running great but when i closed the hood i went to open it and it will not open, i tried bumping the hood whole my wife pulled the hood latch handle but to no avail. anyone have any ideas about how to get a stuck hood opened? I tried looking thru the grille but cannot see the latch from there and underneath is impossible due to the radiator header.

 

Hood fixed, had to pry the grille inward and pry hood upward to remove bolts that hold the latch to rad support bar, replaced latch and cable works fine now.
