my 65 Barracuda questions

To remove the hood springs, first go to the torsion bar for the side you are working on, grab it with a pair of vise grips and over spring it a little to allow the roller to clear the lip of the roller track on the hinge. Then, pull the hinge out of the way of the roller and slowly release the tension from the torsion bar! The hinge will be free as well as the torsion bar, then just take the clip off the hinge post in the wheel well and remove it!
