Re: hood hinge replacement
Be careful and remove and install one hinge at a time. Mark where the old hinge is located with a marksalot or similar. You will need your shoulders to hold the hood while inserting the bolts to hand tight. Then you're home free.

Re: hood hinge replacement
Make sure your helper is holding the hood at the cowl so it doesn't slip and hit it. Then you need to make sure it doesn't try to flip down in front and bend.
