Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Open the hood and install a stop under it.
3. Disconnect the washer reservoir tube from the tee.
4. We take out the rubber seal and remove the washer tube from the hood.
5. In any way possible (felt-tip pen, marker) mark the position of the bolt heads on the hood.
6. With an assistant, on both sides of the hood, while supporting it from below, with a socket wrench by 8 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the hood to the hinges.
7. Remove the hood from the car, while removing the stop.
Installation
1. Install the hood in reverse order.
2. Before tightening the mounting bolts, we combine their heads with the marks made earlier on the hood.
Adjustment
If a new hood is installed, we adjust its position in the opening. Holes in the hood for the bolts of its fastening allow you to change the position of the hood within the opening of the body.
1. We install the hood and wrap the bolts of its fastening without tightening them.
2. Lower the hood and adjust its position in the opening of the body. The gaps between the front fenders and the hood must be uniform and equal, and the radius of curvature of its front part must coincide with the radius of curvature of the wings.
3. Carefully opening the hood, tighten the bolts of its fastening.
4. If the rear of the hood is below the upper edge of the front fenders, loosen the rear hood bolts and lift the rear of the hood to the required amount, then tighten the bolts.
5. Height adjustment of the front edge of the hood is carried out by rubber stops. Turning the stops, raise the front edge of the hood, wrapping - lower it.
6. Install the safety hook and the hood latch.
7. Adjust the hood lock (see below, "Hood lock - removal, installation and adjustment").
