can't open hood on 1989 900

Went to open the hood - pulled the lever and got some slack. There is still a clicking noise upfront, but the hood won't open and has not loosened at all. Have googled and found advice for inserting a screwdriver, but this seems to be blocked by grill and its screw mount (if the latch is located centrally - where exactly is the latch?) Found advice for removing the grill by removing the 3 screws - but the screws are underneath the front of the hood and cannot be accessed. Does anyone have any advice on how to open the hood? We're getting frustrated.
