Too funny! I actually GAVE UP this job after a couple thousand tries. I have to hold the hood up with my head now.

Turns out there's a trick. I haven't tried it yet, but you tie a piece of thread through the holed in the pin, then pass the thread through the mounting bracet. Pulll on the thread to draw the pin through the bracket. Voila.

Man I hurt my hand trying to bull that thing together!
