NK,

As suggested, if you remove the grille, you can view the entire latch mechanism. It is fairly easy to remove, clean and lubricate. One thing that has not been mentioned is that on each forward side of the hood there is a rubber screw type bumper that may require adjustment. If it happens to protrude too far from the hood, it could impede full movement of the hood when attempting to close.

You'll find that if you pull the latch mechanism apart, clean and lube it along with getting some light oil along the cable, that the handle will require very little force to open the hood, as if it was brand new.

And you will be proud. Good luck
