The last time I removed/installed hood springs was 2009. I used vice grips and brute strength. I don't have the strength anymore and after learning of someone who lost an eye doing it that way I decided to make this. You could use square tube where I used round or flat bar where I used angle. I flattened the end of the round tube some and wrap a shop towel around that end so as to preserve the paint of the wheel well. It folds up for easy storage. I used a 1/4" shoulder bolt to tie the 2 pieces together.

Currently out of stock, working on a new run. However, a new design may be in order. We had bought out the last of McMark's stock, and he's not going to make any more, so this may be the best juncture to do this.
