It's been awhile since I've posted here but StangNet's always been helpful so here we go:

When i pull the hood relase there is alot of tension I've yanked on it and even tried prying it with a wrench to get it to come back further. Nothing is working. So how can I open the hood with out the latch?

The cable isn't broken, it's just kinked and off it's normal track and my cars battery is dead so i can't move it until i get the hood opened.

Anyone have any ideas as to how i might open the hood?

Well i pulled the black casing and and bent the bracket enough to expose a bit of the cable. I then took a screw driver wedged it in and gently pry the cable until the latch poped. The latched opened with ease.

I took a picture for anyone else this could help.
