So I recently messed up my hood and need to get it replaced, I also cannot open it because the hood latch assembly on the hood has been bent. Has anyone ever changed this out and if so do you have a diagram for where everything goes?

 

Check this thread out : we just talked about this. Might help here.

If its bent really bad i would see if you can use a long screw driver and poke through the grille and try to lift up a bit while rocking the latch.

Here is the diagram of the set up.
