My hood release pulls really hard and I need to know if there is any adjustment that can be made to make it pull easier. I'm afraid that the cable/handle will break and would like it to pull easier if possible. ------------- Dave - 1973 GTS N code |

check for any slightly bent spots and lube the moving parts including the metal square section of the handle when pulled out
