I've finally opened it.

I've tried to unlatch by pulling the right turn signal out as per your suggestion, but I never been able to reach the latch lever for somehow.

I've unlatched it by lifting the left side of the hood by 4 to 5" and I used a 1/2"dia 4ft long wood rod with a small right angle bracket fixed at the end.

I used a very bright mini LED flashlight since it was very tight underneath
to see and to maneuver. It hasn't been easy but I've finally did it !

I have to replace the center cable, it's broken at one end

Thanks guys
