to pull the handle thanks guys

So you have a hood release on the outside? My best guess is you're going to have to trim the grill a bit to get access to the hood latch.

If you get a billit grill it comes with a lever that you attatch and pull the handle from under the bumper.

Mine didn't come with one but I can squeeze my fingers in there to pop it open. The're fairly flexible and return to shape unless you really reef on it.

You shouldnt have to operate your latch like that. What kind of grill do you have?
