Withdrawal
1. Open the hood and ask an assistant to support it. Using a pencil or marker, mark the position of the hinges relative to the hood (to facilitate subsequent installation).
2. Disconnect the hoses from the windshield washer nozzles. On models with heated injectors, disconnect the wiring connectors from the injectors. Tie twine to the hoses/wires, then pull the hoses/wires out of the hood. Attach the strings to the hood.
3. With the help of an assistant, support the hood in the open position, then remove the clips and disconnect the racks (pic. 8.3).
4. Turn out back bolts of fastening of loops to a cowl, then weaken an inhaling of forward bolts. Slide the hood forward, disconnect it from the hinges and remove it from the vehicle. Remove the gaskets located between the hinges and the hood.
5. Inspect the hood hinges for wear and play. Replace hinges if necessary. Each hinge is attached to the body with two bolts. Mark the position of the hinges relative to the body, then unscrew the mounting bolts and remove them from the vehicle. When installing, align the hinges with the marks made before removal, and securely tighten the mounting bolts.
Installation and adjustment
6. Install gaskets on the hinges (if they exist), then with the help of an assistant, align the hood with the hinges. Insert the rear mounting bolts and screw them in by hand. Align the marks on the hood and hinges made before removal, then securely tighten the mounting bolts. Keep in mind, the ground wire is attached to the left loop (pic. 8.6).
7. Close the hood and check its position relative to the surrounding panels. If necessary, loosen the hood hinges and adjust the position of the hood. After completing the adjustment, securely tighten the mounting bolts and make sure that the hood opens and closes easily. Tie the hoses/wires to the twine and thread them through the holes in the hood. Connect the hoses/wires to the washer nozzles.
