Does anyone have any tricks on removing the big hood spring by the latch that pops the hood up when it's opened? It looks maybe like it's twisted off?

In the past, I have twisted them off with a large screwdriver. Always let it soak in penitrating oil first.

I dont know what you drive but my 71 B body has a bolt that holds it down in the center. I use a 1/4 drive 7/16 socket.
