James, no special trick. Ya just gotta use a coat hanger or
something similar to pull the release lever to the right
(when you are facing the front of the car).
Here's the trick. I took an old accelerator cable (you know
the one that broke and left you stranded) and threaded it
through the hole at the end of the hood release lever, right
along side the existing hood release cable. I just let it
dangle behind the grill. In an emergency you can retrieve
the dangling cable and give it a tug and the hood will open.
