  Q: How do you properly remove, refit, and adjust the hood to ensure correct alignment and functionality on Nissan Juke?

  A: To remove the hood, open it and have an assistant support it while marking the outline of each hinge with a pencil or felt tip pen for guidance during refitting. With assistance, unscrew the nuts securing the hinges to the hood, then carefully lift the hood clear of the vehicle and store it safely. Inspect the hinges for wear and free play at the pivots, renewing them if necessary, as each hinge is secured to the body by bolts. For refitting, with help, position the hood and loosely fit the retaining nuts, aligning the hinges with the previously made marks before securely tightening the nuts. To adjust, close the hood and check its alignment with adjacent panels; if misaligned, slacken the hinge nuts or bolts and re-align as needed, then tighten them securely. After alignment, ensure the hood fastens and releases properly; if adjustments are needed, slacken the lock retaining bolts and reposition the lock before tightening the bolts securely. If further alignment is necessary, adjust the front edge of the hood with the rubbers screwed into the body front panel to raise or lower it as required.
