The hood is heavy and somewhat awkward to remove and install, so at least two people should perform this procedure. Begin by using blankets or pads to cover the cowl area of the body and fenders to protect the paint as the hood is lifted off. Disconnect any cables or wires that may interfere with removal, and make marks or scribe a line around the hood hinges to ensure proper alignment during installation. With an assistant supporting one side of the hood, take turns removing the hinge-to-hood bolts and lift off the hood, supporting it with your shoulder while doing so. Installation is the reverse of removal. For adjustment, fore-and-aft and side-to-side alignment of the hood can be achieved by moving the hinge plate slot after loosening the bolts or nuts. Scribe a line around the entire hinge plate to determine the amount of movement, then loosen the bolts or nuts and adjust the hood into the correct position, tightening the hinge bolts and carefully lowering the hood to check the fit. If necessary, the entire hood latch assembly can be adjusted up-and-down and side-to-side on the radiator support to ensure the hood closes securely and flush with the fenders. Mark around the hood latch mounting bolts for reference, loosen them, reposition the latch assembly as needed, and then retighten the bolts before checking the fit. Finally, adjust the hood bumpers so that the hood is flush with the fenders when closed, and periodically lubricate the hood latch assembly and hinges with white lithium-base grease to prevent binding and wear.
