Removal
Open the hood.
Place protective pads around the edges of the engine compartment to protect painted surfaces from damage. Place a clean rag under the corners of the hood to protect the car's paintwork when removing it.
Use a marker to mark the position of the hinges on the hood.
Have an assistant support the hood in the open position and remove the hinge mounting bolts, then remove the hood from the vehicle.
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. Using two people, install the hood and tighten the hood hinge bolts by hand. Align the hood hinges according to the marks made earlier and tighten the hood mounting bolts.
Adjusting the position
Close the hood and check its position relative to adjacent surfaces. Adjust the position of the hood so that when the hood is closed, the gap around its perimeter is the same on all sides. To adjust, loosen the hood hinge bolts and move the hood to adjust its position. After adjustment, tighten the hood hinge mounting bolts. If necessary, adjust the gap by changing the position of the front fenders of the car.
