**Hood Hinge Spring Help Needed**

They are a pain to get back on. The last time mine popped of I used a bar with a straight end like a screwdriver and pushed it up and on. Then you need to put the little capture nut on there to keep it in place. I can't remember what they are called, but it's a cap type piece of metal with little tangs inside that are bent out to slide over the post and grip on so it doesn't slip back off.

Kinda similar to one of those caps that would hold a wheel to an axle on a kids toy, best way I can describe it.
