Withdrawal
Disconnect the wires for the engine compartment lighting, heated windshield washer nozzles, where present, and the flexible jumper.
Tip: if the same hood will be installed, then when pulling the wire, you need to strengthen the cord at its end. Pull the cord with the wire through the hood. Leave the cord in the hood, which will help when installing the wire in place.
Disconnect the hose to the washer.
Remove the lock washers of the upper air spring mounting bolt.
Take off (where available) hinge protection.
Loosen the bolts in the hinges on the right and left.
The hood is too heavy to dismantle alone. Therefore, ask assistants to support him on the right and left.
Now you need to squeeze out the air spring mounting axis and remove the spring.
Unscrew already loosened bolts by hand and remove the hood.
If necessary, the hood hinges can now be removed.
Hood adjustment
The gap between the closed hood and the left and right fenders must be the same (6-7 mm), the front edge of the hood must also be flush with the fenders. Next, the height adjustment must match. The hood must not protrude above or below the top edge of the fenders (height adjustment).
To adjust in the longitudinal direction, loosen the bolts at the top between the hinge and the hood.
To adjust laterally, loosen the bolts between the hinges and the body.
Slide the hood cover in the desired direction and tighten the bolts.
On the front edge of the hood, height adjustment is made through the hood latch.
Loosen the locknuts on the stop buffers on the right and left and screw them completely into the body cross member.
Loosen the leaf nut with pliers and screw in or out the lock bolt with a screwdriver until the top edge of the hood is flush with the fenders.
Check installation from the front (right and left!), by closing the hood.
Tighten the locknuts again.
Make sure that the bolt of the lock fits exactly into the hole in the front panel of the body. If this is not the case, it can be moved longitudinally and transversely after loosening the locknut.
Unscrew the buffer so that the hood does not swing after closing. This may require several visits.
Removing the upper cross member of the engine compartment
Removing the cross member is necessary when performing some repairs, such as when disassembling the engine, as well as after accidents.
Unscrew 4 bolts on the top on the cross member on the right and on the left.
Unscrew the cross-slotted screws on the right and left from the inside that secure the headlight housing.
