    If you mean the gas struts that hold the bonnet then you prop the bonnet open with a broomstick, and slide the spring clips off - this releases the ball and socket.

    There are 2 springs in the lock - the one on the centralising pin and one which does the actual latching - I'd guess it's the latter you refer to?
