Um, how'd it get released in the first place? Nevermind, not important. Those things are assembled by machine. Not sure you CAN reset the springs.

Go to the salvage yard and pick up a replacement, it's much easier than trying and getting hurt.

I just replaced the rusted hood springs on my 86 Bronco with spares from my 88. Much easier, as the parts are very cheap from a salvage yard. The 86 hood now works like a new one!!!

that works too lol. it was sunday when i was doing mine and the parts were not available so i fixed mine. its easy enough to do urself if ur not willing to fork out the cash. whichever ones u put in the truck, shott some oil in the springs so you dont get that good 'ol ford squeak everytime u open and close the hood.
