If the bonnet release catch is loose from the cabin end, then you should be able to use vise-grips or similar on the barrel nipple at that end. If there is resistance but it still doesn't release the bonnet, thenyou may need an assistant to push down on the front edge of the bonnet while you pull the release lever.

PS Please turn your caps lock off ...... it's considered rude to SHOUT!  ;)  :y  :y  :y
