Removing
1. Open the hood and lock it in this position.
2. Disconnect the washer hose from the right side of the hood.
3. Use a pencil or felt-tip pen to circle each of the hood hinges to facilitate its subsequent installation.
4. With the help of an assistant, unscrew the left - and right hinge bolts and carefully remove the hood from the car.
5. Inspect the hood hinges for wear and replace if necessary.
Installation and adjustment
1. With the help of an assistant, align the hood with the hinges. Install the mounting bolts and tighten them by hand. Align the bolts with the marks made during removal, then tighten them securely.
2. Close the hood and check its alignment with the adjacent body panels. If necessary, loosen the hinge bolts and move the hood along the elongated slots in the desired direction. Once the hood is centered, tighten the hinge bolts.
