Warning. Doing stuff is dangerous. Cutting a metal flag pole could cause a sharp edge that could rip off both your corneas. Wear eye protection, etc.
Supplies and tools:
An old section of hollow, metal flag pole cut to about 22 inches.
A medium flat blade screwdriver to pop the fasteners on the belly pan.
Rubber mallot
Eye protection
Steps:
1.) Take off belly pan.
2.) Lying on Back, Look straight up at the latch and identify blue plastic cable collar at end of black hood cable.
3.) Just to the left of the blue piece is the flat silver nub that it pulls on - fit the flagpole end around his nub, and pivot the bottom of the pole to the left. Far enough over so you can smack the shit out of it twice with the rubber mallet, driving the piece to the right. Slather everything with lube, and snap the blue Collar back in its groove (mine had popped out.)
5.) Put the flagpole and mallot in the back hatch in case it happens again.
