Disconnect the gas shocks first. Have someone support the hood while you unbolt it.
Simple

Removing the hood is not hard, you might see if you can get an extra set of hands to help you take it off.
The hard part is putting it back on and getting it to line up properly....good luck

it can be tricky getting all the adjustments right so the hood sits properly. Best of luck and post up pics of the new hood once installed.
