I DIDN'T FORGET YOU FUCKING YAOYOROZU

is the latch stuck? seems for me so

Isn't that your new Corolla?

>new

Well

yeah

it is

For you it's new

the seller's a naughty bitch probably

What cable did you fuck up/

*?

hood opening cable

seems it was fucked up before

when i looked at the car before buying there wasn't any problem with that

Corollas are known for having fucked opening cables

Look for a replacement hood release cable

tfw no E10 replacement cables

the cable seems stuck btw

pulling it causes the plastic cover also to go out

it really seems the latch is blocked

i should get a replacement cable too and mount it on the plastic properly though

Ye

I wanted to learn wrenching

seems like I got what I wanted 😂

Try grabbing the internal cable

Kek

yeah I did

grabbed outside, the plastic, and pulled the internal cable

just moved slightly and hood is still closed

Shit

That probably needs a garage visit

mhm

but I can't start it because the battery died probably

Towing is mad expensive

ChrisFix says to use a pry bar and open it from the bottom

another option is to try to beat the hood into submission while pulling the cable

needs two people tho

like push it up and down to move the latch

A pry bar?

Rip hood
