Hood Shock / Support: Service and Repair

Hood Support Strut Replacement

NOTE:

- Use eye protection when doing this procedure.
- When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to prevent damage.

1. With the help of an assistant, 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.





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