Note. The hood is quite heavy and bulky, so we recommend removing it with an assistant.
If the hood is not going to be replaced, it is recommended to mark the position of the washers relative to the hood hinges to facilitate its further installation. Noise isolation, rubber buffers and a safety hook in this case do not need to be removed from it.

8. Together with an assistant, remove the studs on the hood from the holes in the hinges and remove the hood.
9. Install the new hood on the hinges. Adjusting the position of the hood is carried out due to enlarged holes in the hinges. Therefore, before final tightening of the fastening nuts, cover the hood and move it so that the front edge of the hood is flush with the radiator lining. Carefully open the hood and finally tighten its fastening nuts. Install the noise insulation, rubber buffers and safety hook on the hood in the reverse order of removal.
