Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. In any way possible (marker, marker) mark the position of the latch on the hood.
3. Hold the hood latch with a screwdriver, key by 17 mm loosen its locknut.
4. Turn out the retainer with the locknut and washer.
5. Prying with a screwdriver, remove the lock washer of the axis of the safety hook.
6. Remove the axle and remove the drive lever from the two plastic holders.
7. Remove the safety hook assembly with the drive lever from the hood.
8. With pliers, or prying with a screwdriver, we remove the upper end of the hood lock spring from the panel hole (shown from the engine compartment).
9. Disconnect the drive rod from the spring and, turning, remove the spring from the body panel.
Installation
Install the removed parts in reverse order.
Adjustment
Note: The lock is adjusted by changing the position of the lock latch.
1. To move the latch to the side, loosen the tightening of its locknut and move the latch within the hole in the hood amplifier, we achieve the exact hit of the latch in the counter hole of the front panel when closing the hood.
2. To adjust the protrusion of the lock retainer, unscrew its lock nut and use a slotted screwdriver to wrap or unscrew the lock. Having achieved the desired protrusion of the latch, we fix it with a lock nut.
3. We check the operation of the lock and, if necessary, repeat the adjustment, achieving its precise operation.
