How to remove replace hood
I can just about remove or take apart anything. Just don't ask me to put it back together. Getting ready to install a Vortex intake and it looks like it would be a good idea to remove the hood. However, putting the hood back on does not seem like the reversal of removal. I can just see me wrenching it in and finding that the hood does not line up with the opening. Any tricks, tips on replacing the hood especially with alignment?

Simple job! Careful and precisely mark the position of the brackets on the hood, disconnect the wireing connector to the hood lamp, get a good helper, and finally, take out 4 bolts. Done!

As said above, its a simple job to remove it, but save yourself a headache and have a second person so you don't accidently harm it. Makes life a lot easier.
