Hahaha. Yup.

Release was working, installed the pin, was testing it and all worked fine. Decided I wanted it just a touch tighter, and that was it. No amount of shaking, pushing or swearing would get the thing open. Thank GOODNESS my Bentley was now locked in the trunk so instead of cutting the handle I had to surf for the diagram. Joel, had posted about the access panel at the bottom of the trunk being an option. 30 seconds later, I was into the hood area, and removed the pin from the handle...conveniently using the 13mm wrench which was already in the trunk :P
