One way is to make a Tool like this, put it in your springs & hold it in w/wire ties then close the hood & the hood spring will basicly fall out OR you can do it LIKE THIS

There is a very recent thread on the same subject. 60-66 forum. Currently on the 5th page of forums (C pg 5). Let us know how it goes. The springs are on the job list this weekend.
