You need about 4 big strong guys. I took my hood off with only 2 and it slipped and scratched the hood.

Be sure to mark where the the hinge sits and anywhere you unbolt, this helps to minimize adjustments when you reinstall. I left my lights on and the hood is heavy.

Installing was a breeze since I had 4 gig guys to hood the hood in place while I did the bolt tightening.

Good Luck!!!
