Well I'm glad I followed your advice and made an attempt to get the bolt out of the hinge first. I somehow managed to break the easy out off in the bolt.
I thought I had it too as it was moving. Tried drilling the easy out...out, but that's not happening.
So I guess now I'm looking for a drivers side hinge half as well as a shoulder bolt. Thanks in advance. I just got my new clutch cable in and was looking forward to driving it for the first time since I bought the car, if you don't count on and off the trailer, when this happened. I'm seriously considering taking off the other hinge and strapping (taping) the hood down just so I can putt around the neighborhood this weekend.
