Removing
1. We prepare the car for repair work.
2. Remove the grille.
3. For the convenience of disconnecting the hood lock cable, we remove the sound signal.
4. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the hood lock.
Warning. To avoid injury, do the following work carefully - the radiator fins have sharp edges.
5. Use pliers to unbend the end of the hood lock drive rod. We shift the locking sleeve from the end of the rod and disconnect the rod from the hood lock lever.
6. Remove the hood lock.
7. To remove the safety hook of the hood, use a 10 mm socket wrench to unscrew the two bolts securing the hook bracket and remove the hook.
Installation
We install the lock and all removed parts on the car in reverse order. Before installing the radiator grille, we adjust the hood latch.
Adjustment
The holes for the hood lock bolts are large and oval in shape, which allows you to change the position of the hood lock. To adjust, loosen the two bolts securing the lock. We adjust the lock - we achieve that, when closing the hood, the lock latch (welded to the hood) entered the groove of the lock without touching the edges of the groove.
