Removal
1. Prepare the car for repair work.
2. Remove the radiator grille.
3. To make it easier to disconnect the hood lock cable, remove the horn.
4. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the two bolts securing the hood lock.
Warning: To avoid injury, perform the following work with caution - the radiator fins have sharp edges.
5. Using pliers, straighten the end of the hood lock drive rod. Move the locking sleeve from the end of the rod and disconnect the rod from the hood lock lever.
6. Remove the hood lock.
7. To remove the hood safety hook, use a 10 mm socket wrench to unscrew the two bolts securing the hook bracket and remove the hook.
Installation
We install the lock and all removed parts on the car in the reverse order. Before installing the radiator grille, adjust the hood lock.
Adjustment
The holes for the hood lock mounting bolts are large and oval-shaped, which allows you to change the position of the hood lock. To adjust, loosen the two lock mounting bolts. Adjust the lock - we achieve that, when closing the hood, the lock retainer (welded to the hood) entered the groove of the lock without touching the edges of the groove.
