Withdrawal
1. Mark the mounting position of the hood hinges if the hood is to be reinstalled.
2. Disconnect the wire of the engine compartment light, the wire for heating the jets (if available), as well as the wire «masses» (-).
Attention! If the old hood will be installed back, then when disconnecting the wires on the hood, fasten twine to their end. The twine should remain in the hole for the wire so that you can then pull the wire into place.
3. Disconnect the washer hose.
4. Remove the lock washers on the gas shock absorber upper retainer bolt.
5. Remove, if any, the protective covers of the hood hinges.
6. Loosen the hood hinge bolts on the body.
7. Ask an assistant to help remove the hood. He's too heavy to do it alone.
8. Disconnect the gas-filled shock absorber from the hood by pressing out the bolt holding the shock absorber (see illustration).
9. Turn out the bolts of loops of a cowl weakened earlier and remove a cowl. If necessary, you can detach the hinges from the hood.
Attention! Do not dispose of the gas-filled shock absorber with household waste. It is necessary to remove air from it by contacting the workshop.
Fit
When the hood is closed, the distance from it to the adjacent wings should be the same. In addition, the hood must be correctly adjusted in height so that it does not protrude or sink below relative to adjacent parts, primarily the wings.
10. Loosen the bolts that secure the hinges to the hood to allow for a longitudinal fit of the hood.
11. Loosen the bolts that secure the hood hinges to the body to allow the hood to fit laterally.
13. Move the hood in the desired direction and tighten the hinge bolts.
The height adjustment of the hood is carried out by screwing in or out of the hood locking pin.
14. Unscrew the locknut of the hood stop buffers on the left and right sides of the front lining and screw the buffers in until they stop (see illustration).
15. Loosen the locknut of the hood locking pin with a gas wrench and screw or unscrew the pin enough to eliminate the sinking or protrusion of the hood relative to the surface of the wings (see illustration).
16. Close the hood and make sure it is adjusted correctly.
17. Tighten the hood latch locknut.
18. Make sure the pin is aligned with the lock hole. If this is not the case, then move the pin along or across due to the enlarged hole in the hood by unscrewing the locknut.
19. Turn out persistent buffers so as to exclude vibrations of a cowl in the closed position.
