Hood hinges/springs
Bought new hinges and new springs. The springs aren't on the hinges. If you've "been there, done that" you know what my problem is. How do I get those buggars on there?
Thanks |

 Very carefully, I did the same thing, hook one end and use something to strech it to the other post.Good Luck

Do it with your hood OFF. Mount the hinges to the fender and lower the hinges. This is the position where the springs have their least tension. Hook the back of the spring on, then use a pry bar to pry the front loop on. It's actually pretty simple this way. Also... be careful. They will hurt you if you get your hand, face, whatever in their path!
