Mike,
When I encounter a stuck hood I do the following:
Have someone pull on the hood release knob, while you
Slap the hood hard on top of the spot over the hood plunger.
A couple quick raps of the flat side under your balled-up fist should
dislodge the plunger while someone else pulls on the release.
