This is not too complicated. First thing is to remove the hood. Then you will see the two bolts that hold each hinge to the body.

Start with opening the hood and having a friend remove one side while you do the other. Then you will need to lift the hood off together.

Please see the info below and once the hood is removed you will just need to remove the hinges and replace them.

Then reinstall the hood the same way. You should trace the original placement of the hinges on the hood before you move them so that you can place it back in a close position to minimize alignment issues.

Please run through this and let us know what you find. Thanks
