Rehabilitating '74 914.
Prior to this project, the front hood latch was difficult to release... much effort was needed to pull the cable to release the trunk. Have installed NEW latch cable. No kinks... everything looks fine. Still, much effort is needed to pull the cable. Suggestions? |

If the cable is easy to move with the hood open, best guess is the latch is stiff or the hood is shutting too tight. . and a new seal may make it worse. . how are the hood bumpers adjusted???
Easy enough to remove the latch and clean and greased. . Also if the release handle is stiff, it may need to the taken apart and cleaned and greased. . |
