Trying to remove the hood springs on my 73 duster got the fender off released the tension how does the spring come off the pin?
Thanks
 
The complete hood hinge should just pull off the pin once the push clip is removed. If it's rusty, try soaking it in some PB Blaster.

Maybe a nudge with a pry bar is in order....
 
If your talking about just the spring, you pop off the side of the spring with the loop around the pin. Then you have to either grind off the tangs that are crimped down so the spring doesnt just come out or spread that pin apart. I would only spread it far enough to wiggle the spring out with it dragging across the crimps.
