Re: 1939 pickup hood latch assembly question
Clem you have to close the hood to be able to turn the handle back.
The knub on the radiator that the disc locks to, also pushes up the "pivot lock plate" to release the locking tabs.
Try pushing where the radiator receiver (knub) would hit and turn the handle at the same time.
Use a screwdriver not your finger. If you use a finger, turn the handle slowly or you'll pinch the heck out of your finger. Only has to be depressed for about 10degrees turn of the handle.
