Before starting, be sure to raise the hood and support it with something. Next, take out the two screws that are holding the fender applique on your vehicle. Insert the trim stick C-4755 or an equivalent, to detach the fender applique from the fender. You don't have to take off the hood; each hinge can be replaced by itself. The following step is to pull out the hood support cylinder. Then, with a grease pencil, outline where the hinge needs to be placed. First, detach the nuts that bind the hinge to the body and then detach the nuts for the hinge on the hood. Now, take out the hinge from the car.
