ArdWrknTrk Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 At this point the cowl should be free. Getting it off requires some contortions with the hood in a halfway raised position to clear the hinges. "Contortions" is a euphemism for trying every possible position of the hood, chipping the paint, and thinking "Why didn't I take the hood off to do this?!?!" What I eventually did was to loosen the bolts that hold the hinges to the hood and then slid the hood forward on the hinges. And I loosened the bottom bolts more than the top to angle the hood on the hinges. However, the hood wanted to close in those various positions, and I was worried about the bolts coming out, so I had to prop it up with a piece of wood from the radiator support. I didn't find it that difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got it on the first time with the hood halfway up and wasn't to difficult. although it did scrape against the hood a few times, after we painted it we were going to take the hood off, but when after i got the bolts loose, i pulled the hood forward and it dropped right in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
