Removing
Wrench required "on 10". Having installed the car on a level place and disconnected the battery terminal, we proceed to work.
Disconnect the washer hoses from jets 1, Figure 6-1. We also disconnect the clamps with which the pipes are attached to the hood.
By pressing on the winged spacers, we take out the jets of 1 windshield washer from the hood.

Remove the hood as follows. Loosen four bolts 1 (two on each side), figure 6-2, fastening the hinges to the hood (head 10), then remove the hood from the car. To do this, it is desirable to have an assistant.

Remove the holder 1, Figure 6-3, and the hood stop 2 from the bracket 3. Then remove the inner lining of the hood

If it is necessary to remove for repair or replacement of the hood hinge, then unscrew the two bolts 1, Figure 64, with the hood hinge. The attachments of the right and left loops are similar.

Installation
All mechanisms and devices of the hood are installed in the reverse order. The following is required:
- adjust and maintain a uniform gap between the hood and the body
- lubricate the working parts with the hinge, lock and hood lock opening rod. Make sure that the working nodes are not jammed anywhere;
- adjust hood latch (fastening) so that its opening and closing occurs without unnecessary effort and resistance, while the reliability of closure must be observed;
- adjust the hood release (its length) so that in the closed position the hood opening handle touches the stop on the bracket;
- make sure the hood hook holds it securely.
Installation of a gas stop instead of a standard hood support
The gas stop from the back door of the Niva is well suited for installation instead of the standard hood stop on the Lada Largus. With one end it is fixed in the hole on the hood hinge, the other is inserted instead of the mounting bolt on the wing. It is better to choose an emphasis with the least compressive force, since the Largus hood is flimsy.
