Open the hood fully and prise off the clip retaining the stay to the body. Mark the position of the hinges on the hood, unbolt them, and with assistance, lift the hood from the car. If the hinges need to be removed, take off the radiator grille and headlamp bezel. Extract the grille securing screws and remove the grille, being careful with the headlamp bezel as it has two positioning lugs that can break if handled roughly. The hood latch is bolted to the engine compartment rear bulkhead, and both the latch and the release cable can be removed by unscrewing the latch bolts and the release cable support bracket bolts inside the car. Refitting is the reverse of removal, ensuring not to fully tighten the hinge or latch bolts until the hood is checked for closure, with any necessary adjustments made using the hinges or latch within the limits of their elongated bolt holes. Finally, grease the hinge pivots and the latch.
