SO in relation to my other thread, how easy is it or hard is it to install a new hood? I know the simple answer of with the right tool but i mean really how hard is it.

Not much too it but a few bolts... I've taken mine off but never replaced. Its the same concept.

Experience taught me to put a blanket across the engine bay and the top of the fenders.
You won't scratch said fenders upon removal/reinstall and if you drop a bolt, you won't loose it in the bay.

Good advice above.

*It's pretty straight forward. put it on and minor alignment adjustments.

2 bolts on each side of the hood, detach the window sprayers,

if your doing this by your self use the hood prop to hold the hood up as you unbolt the hood. hope that helps
