:repair: Some time back on the DeJA site someone asked how to open a XJ Hood when the latch cable brakes? :explosion Well in doing mod's to my XJ I found a easy way without hurting the Hood.
1- Remove both headlights and the headlight buckets. You will see a 13mm. bolt on the radiator brace behind the headlight.
2- Remove this bolt and there will be another bolt directly above that bolt. Remove that one also
3- Your hood will then be able to open because you have unbolted part of your hood latch.
4- the hood will not pop up because the springs will be unbolted. So use a flat stick to lift the hood.

No damage.
