Hood coil spring unwound

That video posted. with the vice grips and the crescent wrench.

it took 1 try and went as fast as the video showed. It worked great.

it took me a couple of hours trying different things.

that method took 2 minutes.

I did have to hammer the hook part off the vice grips like the video showed.

I used a c clamp to press the spring into its slot in the center.
