Another option if the pliers don't work is to remove the entire latch. I'm not sure which grill you have. I had an 85' that the latch was completely frozen on. I use wobble extensions and a socket on a 1/4" drive ratchet and removed the latch bolts. Then the hood opened with the latch and all. You do have to cut the cable but you're going to be replacing it anyway.
