The removal and installation of the hood requires at least two people due to its weight and awkwardness. Begin by covering the fenders and cowl areas with blankets or pads to protect the body and paint during the process. Scribe or draw alignment marks around the bolt heads for proper alignment upon installation. Disconnect any cables or wire harnesses that may interfere with the removal. With an assistant supporting the hood's weight, remove the hinge-to-hood bolts and any shims, keeping them organized by side. Lift off the hood, and for installation, reverse the removal steps, ensuring the hinges fit within the scribe marks and reinstalling shims in their original locations for alignment. Adjust the hood's position using the elongated holes in the hinges, scribing a line around the hinge plate to gauge movement. Loosen the bolts, make small adjustments, and retighten them while checking alignment. The hood latch assembly can also be adjusted up-and-down and side-to-side on the upper radiator support for a secure and flush closure with the fenders, using a scribed reference line for repositioning. Adjust the vertical height of the leading edge of the hood by modifying the edge cushions, ensuring it is flush with the fenders, and use shims to align the rear edge. Periodically lubricate the hood latch assembly and hinges with white lithium-base grease to prevent sticking and wear.
