Most likely something around 12 mm or !/2 inch. Try slipping various wrenches on till you find the correct securely fitting one. This will broaden your knowledge of how to fix autos. - Oh, one other hint on removing hood hinges or latches. -They must go back in exactly the same position, so I always run a 'Sharpie' around the edge of the plate, to ensure correct re-fitting.

The battery of a 1997 Honda Civic is dead and the hood latch is broken how can I get the hood open?
Just had this happen to me... hope you don't mind unbolting stuff. I had my car parked for a year, and the latch had rust shut. The hood release cable wasn't able to budge the release at all. Unbolt the bottom bolts and screws of the front fender. That should leave the top part under the hood still attached. You should be able to pry the bottom part of the fender enough to work on the latch from under the car. Pull off the bottom part of the fender as much as you can. Go underneath the car and locate the hood latch. Take a 10mm wrench and remove the three bolts holding the latch in place. Remove the hood release cable from the latch. The hood should open now. Good luck!

Is it a big job to replace a hood latch on a 1992 Ford Mercury Grand Marquis?
According to my trusty Haynes manual, it's not that big a deal. The hood latch is attached to the radiator support and is attached with 2 bolts. Before replacing it, scribe a line around -- or use a Sharpie marker to outline -- the placement of the current latch. Remove the bolts and the cable release linkage. Installation is the reverse of removal. After installing the new latch using the scribed lines as a guide, check the fit of the hood. It should be flush with the fenders and the nosepiece. If it isn't, adjustments can be made by loosening the latch mounting bolts and sliding the latch up, down, left, or right and then tightening the bolts. Enjoy.
