Removing
1. We prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

4. socket wrench by 10 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the hood latch.
Warning! To avoid injury, perform the following operation carefully - the radiator fins have sharp edges.
5. With pliers we unbend the end of the lock drive rod. We shift the locking sleeve from the end of the rod and disconnect the rod from the lock lever.
6. Remove the hood lock.
7. To remove the hood safety hook with a socket wrench by 10 mm unscrew the two bolts securing the hook bracket and remove the hook.
Installation
Install the lock in reverse order. Before installing the grille, adjust the hood latch (see below).
Adjustment
The holes for the hood lock bolts are large and oval in shape, which allows you to change the position of the hood lock. To adjust, loosen the two bolts securing the lock. We adjust the lock: we achieve that when closing the hood, the lock latch (welded to the hood) entered the groove of the lock without touching the edges of the groove.
