Welcome to the forum, have tried having a helper pop the top of hood with palm of hand, close to latch mechanism, as you pull the release mechanism? If nothing works, maybe you can remove the front grill, and reach it that way, after you get it open, you can lube everything. Sorry, I don't have diagram.
