It would seem what can be simpler, than open a cowl: pulled the lever, and it rises. Occasionally, but there are unforeseen situations when everything goes not according to the plan. In that case information on how to open a cowl if the rope broke, will be as it is impossible by the way. That the reason consists in break of a rope, the characteristic sound at the movement of the lever will demonstrate.
How to open a cowl if the rope tore?
For a start it is important to define, where exactly there was a break: near the lever or directly under a cowl. The work method will depend on it, and in the first case the task is simplified many times.
Option No. 1 – how to open a cowl without rope if the break arose in front of the lever. The first that needs to be made – to examine the place of fastening of a cable and the handle as the stopper which needs to be returned into place perhaps flew. If the rope broke off, then take flat-nose pliers and grasp it together with a casing, and then, pull down that will lead to opening of a cowl. If it did not turn out, then cut off a casing and reel up a rope on flat-nose pliers and again pull it.
Option No. 2 – how to open a cowl if there was a break of a rope under it. This task is already considered difficult, but there are two ways which can be used for domestic cars and foreign cars:
- It is possible to try to reach the lock through a front grille, using the self-made key made of a wire. Push it in a radiator lattice or the air collector. The task is in reaching a uvula, to fix a hook and to pull it.
- Other option means use of protection of a case. Quicker to cope, the assistant is necessary. It is necessary to lift the car on a jack or to find a viewing hole. Remove protection of an oil pallet of the engine, and then, using the long screw-driver or other tool, reach a uvula and incline it to the left side. At this time the assistant has to press on a cowl, and then, lift it.
