Hood Shock / Support: Service and Repair

Hood Support Strut Replacement




1. While an assistant supports the hood, use a flat-tip screwdriver (A) to pry out the clips (B) on both ends of the hood support struts (C), and then remove the support struts from the pivot bolts (D). Do not remove the clips from the struts.

NOTE: Use eye protection when doing this procedure.

2. Push the clips back into their original position, and then push the ends of the struts onto the pivots bolts.
