Hood stuck

Hi everybody,

I have a quick question. Is there a release that I can access from outside of my 94 F150 to open the hood. The remote cable to the dash is broken and won't release the first stage of the hood release. I'm pretty sure if I start disasembling the grille I will be able to find out how to do it, but I am trying to find out if there is an easier way. Thanks a lot.

You have to get a helper to lift up on the hood while you pull on the release. once you do that, PB blaster the crap out of the hood latch and lube it up real good with WD40. Work it a few times to let the crud break free on it. It should work once you do that.
