How to install a hood hinge on Dodge Nitro?

The first step is to set the new hinge on the car at the very spots you marked during removal. Next, apply and fasten nuts to the body where the hinge will go, turning them to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.); then fasten the other side of the hinge with more nuts, again tightening to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.). Place the hinge first, then fit the hood support cylinder and lastly, attach those two screws to the metal applique.

How to Maintain and Fix a Hood Hinge on Dodge Nitro?

Always make sure the hood is up and off the ground before servicing or repairing the hinge. The next thing is to take out the two screws below the fender applique. Use a trim stick designed for Westley Fender Panels or an equivalent, to divide the fender applique from the fender. You do not have to remove the hood to service the hinges; you can change them one at a time. Then take out the hood support cylinder and mark the area of the hinge using a grease pencil. Following this, take out the nuts connecting the hinge to the body and to the hood. With the door off the car, get rid of the hinge.
