Has anyone ever attempted to disassemble a hood latch, on a '28 Super Six, or similar, for cleaning and repainting. I'd like to find out how to disassemble it, if it's possible.
Thanks, Sach.

    The hook unscrews from the cylindrical body, and the spring is held in by a clip. Extremely simple really.

    Thanks Geoff, I'll give it a "spin" to see if I can separate the hook and cylinder.
    Thanks for all your help over the past year and I hope you have a great Holiday.

    Geoff, it took a soaking with penetrating oil and a little heat from a propane torch, to get the hook to turn from the cylinder, but they all separated just fine. Thanks again, Sach.
