Thank you so much for this video. Lock on my transit seized up. I hate working on cars. So I asked a friend to open it. He couldn't. Then called a locksmith. they couldn't. Then called Ford and they couldn't do it. Was ready to junk the car then I saw this video and I finally got the hood up. I swore and yelled the whole time but I got it done. Now I can replace the battery and see what else is wrong with it. Thank you for much.

Thanks for the video, definitely saved a lot of time troubleshooting how to get it open. Very poor design but it’s a anti theft mechanism since some countries in the world are very prone to crime. My wrench was a bit to short so I extended by clamping it into a vice grip and then 1/8th of a turn at a time. Talk about a real pain.

Mechanic here, these things are such junk… Matco ratchet #AFR88TM or equivalent with short 8mm chrome socket will take the bolts off the hood latch hold down without removing (and destroying) the grill. Still tedious but once they’re loose it’s a lot easier.

What a DUMB design. If someone happens to back into your vehicle, you got to throw the whole thing away! I really miss the simple design of 60s and 70s automobiles. Give it gas and spark and you are down the road!
