The hood is hefty and a bit cumbersome to place on and take off; it is ideal that at lowest two people carry out this procedure. First, one should begin by using blankets or pads to cover the cowl area of the body, and the fenders in particular for protection of the paint. Scribe a line around the hood hinge if they do not align to ensure that you are able to align them properly when it comes to installment, cut any cables or wires that may hamper removal of the hood. A helper should hold one side of the hood, and you hold the other side of the hood, then, at the same time, take out the nuts connecting the hinge and the hood as you hold up the hood with your shoulder. Lift off the hood and for the installation reverse the procedure of remove the hood. Regarding the adjustment, the variation in the fore-and-aft and side-to-side alignment can be attained by altering the hinge plate slot when the bolts or nuts are loosened. Draw a line around the hinge plate to identify the direction of the movement; later, you can use a wrench to slacken the bolts/Nuts and slid the hood into the right position to fasten the hinge bolts tightly. If needed, the entire hood latch assembly can be moved up and down and side to side on the radiator support to get the hood to flat flush with the fenders. Categorise markers around the hood latch mounting bolts for reference and unbolt the mounting bolts before re-locating the latch assembly and finally tightening the bolts to check the proper fitting of the assembly by closing the hood. Last, the height of the hood bumpers on the radiator support should be final positions, where, when the hood is fully closed, it aligns perfectly with the fenders and then the whole assembly of the hood latch and hinges should be greased with a white lithium-base grease every now and then to prevent binding and wearing out.
